DREF recognizes National Minority Donor Awareness Month observed annually throughout August to increase organ, eye, and tissue donation awareness and registration within multicultural communities, addressing the critical need for diverse donors where more than 60% of people on the national transplant waitlist are people of color. Key Goals of the Observance include: Education & Outreach - Provide focused education on donation within African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American communities; Addressing Disparities - Highlight how conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure disproportionately impact minority groups and lead to higher rates of organ failure, particularly kidney disease; Improving Match Compatibility - Encourage diverse registrations because transplant matches are often more successful when matched across similar ethnic and genetic backgrounds; Promoting Healthy Living - Advocate for disease prevention and wellness to reduce the future need for organ transplants.

DREF recognizes July 24 as International Self-Care Day! This annual celebration is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of self-care around the globe, promote self-care in your organizations or communities, and of course, take good care of yourself, as well.
Although self-care has become a widely used (and let’s be honest, misused) vocabulary word, it has meaningful roots in the 1950s Civil Rights Movement, as Black activists and organizers integrated the term into their movements.
As we acknowledge the history of self-care, we can also see what it has become: A personal practice for everyone to proactively prioritize their minds, bodies, and spirits in the ways that serve them best. #DST1913,#DREF, #Blackwomenshealth, #SelfCareMatters, #MentalHealthAwareness, #MindBodySpirit, #PrioritizeYourself, #InternationalSelfCareDay

And what better excuse for prioritizing ourselves than International Self-Care Day? Read on for some more information about this global holiday and some ideas for how you can best honor and care for yourself, too. ...
