Transplant Games-Team Southern California, Inc. For transplant recipients, the Transplant Games is an opportunity to honor those who have given the gift of life.

Team SoCal is a group of transplant recipients and living donor athletes,donor families,supporters and health care professionals committed to celebrating the Gift of Life!We are a 501c3 organization.We support the Transplant Games of America. With more than 113,000 people waiting for a life saving organ transplant, the need to educate the public about organ and tissue donation has never been more

important. It is because of the selfless act of living and deceased donors that an event like the Transplant Games is possible. It is an honor to share our team member and donor sister Tina Vanderhorst's reflection about her first experience at the 2014 Donate Life Transplant Games. When I walked into the TGA opening ceremony with the other Donor Families, I never knew my heart could feel so much love and appreciation from others. We received a standing ovation with cheers of gratitude and respect. I was awe inspired on how the organ recipients so deeply appreciate their second chance at life. To watch them compete in the games and live life to the fullest, also filled my heart with joy. It was an honor to be there to cheer and encourage the organ recipients and living donors, as it was a healing process I could never imagine experiencing.

Dear Donor Families,

Thank you for your interest in helping present medals to athletes at our upcoming TGA competitions. This is a meaningful way to celebrate our athletes' achievements and be part of the excitement of competition day.

We have created a SignUpGenius where you can sign up for the competitions that best fit your schedule. The sign-up lists each competition by date, location, and approximate times so you can choose opportunities based on your availability.

Please note that, depending on the competition, medals may be presented throughout the event or primarily toward the end of the competition. Because of this, you will not be selecting an exact shift or presentation time.

When you arrive at the event, please find the volunteer coordinating medal distribution and let them know that you are a donor family member who signed up to assist with medaling. They will be happy to incorporate you into the medal presentation activities.

As an added convenience, once you sign up through SignUpGenius, you will receive a text message reminder on the day of the competition.

Thank you again for your generosity and support of TGA. We are grateful for the opportunity to have our donor families help recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our athletes.
