SR 175 is a ceremonial Senate resolution recognizing February 13, 2025, as “Donor Day” at the state capitol. It commends organ, eye, and tissue donors and the organizations that promote and facilitate donation in Georgia, and encourages public registration for donation.

  • Commends the roughly 3,100 Georgians who provided organ, eye, or tissue donations in 2024 (including about 176 living kidney donors) and recognizes the nearly 2,900 Georgians then awaiting transplants.
  • Praises and recognizes LifeLink of Georgia, the Georgia Transplant Foundation, and other member organizations of the Donate Life Georgia collaborative for education, recovery, transplant support, and donor-family services.
