This logo may be small, but it stands for a worthy cause that helps thousands of Australians each year.
DonateLife promotes organ donation awareness in Australia and helps organ donors and their families when they die.
The Wingham Junior Tigers this year decided to support DonateLife for the next three years as part of their community engagement program.
Sunday July 28 to Sunday August 4 is DonateLife Week and the Club are encouraging more of the community to register to be an organ and tissue donor and to have a conversation about it with their family and friends.
If you want to be a donor, make sure you register, it's quick and easy on the DonateLife website https://donatelife.gov.au

Each donor has the potential to benefit up to seven people and greatly improve their lives.
Around 1,400 Australians are currently on an waiting list for a transplant. A further 11,000 are on dialysis, many of whom would benefit from a kidney transplant.
