Each year, the Navajo Code Talker statue watches over Wesley Bolin plaza across from the Arizona State Capitol during Donate Life Day at the Capitol.

Navajo Code Talkers were Native American Marines who used the Navajo language, Diné Bizaad, to create an unbreakable code during World War II.

This code securely transmitted vital military messages, and it was never broken by enemy forces. Their work played a crucial role in U.S. victories, including at Iwo Jima, and remained classified until 1968.

Navajo Code Talkers Day, Aug. 14 every year, highlights the importance of inclusion, especially the power of bilingualism and cultural diversity, in strengthening our nation and securing its future.

Why multiethnic representation matters in donation ⬇️

More than 109,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. Approximately 60% of those waiting identify as members of a non-White racial or ethnic communities.

While donation and transplantation can be successful regardless of race or ethnicity, the chance of longer-term survival may be greater if the donor and recipient are closely matched in terms of their shared genetic backgrounds.

“If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: trust that most things work out- often better than you imagined. I spent far too much time worrying about making the perfect decision or anticipating every possible outcome. What I’ve learned, personally and professionally, is that resilience, integrity, and showing up consistently matter more than perfection. Challenges will come, but so will opportunities, growth, and people willing to help you along the way. Have confidence in your ability to navigate what comes next.”

"One of the most memorable experiences was witnessing a tissue recovery firsthand, which deepened my understanding and appreciation for the donation process," says Suzette Buron, Talent & Culture administrator. "Each day, walking through our doors and seeing the words etched on the wall serves as a powerful reminder of the lives we touch and the good we do for our state and community. I am honored to be part of an organization whose mission aligns so closely with my personal values and experiences."

Hard to believe it's Donor Network of Arizona's 40th anniversary of saving and healing lives! Of course, we couldn’t do it without our incredible team. Here's to the memories from the staff who have been here since (almost) the beginning!

Arizona went for gold 🤩

Last month, we went to the Transplant Life Foundation Transplant Games of America in Denver! Transplant recipients and living donors competed to honor their donors and show us that there is life, and health, after transplant.

Donor families gathered and competed as well to honor their heroes and cheer on recipients whose lives have been transformed through donation.

Congratulations to all of this year's competitors and winners! You inspire us every day. ❤️
