Transplant Athletes Wanted!
Team Buffalo welcomes organ, cornea, tissue and bone marrow transplant recipients, as well as living donors and donor families to join us as competitors in the Transplant Games of America. To be eligible for athletic challenges, competitors must be at least nine months post transplant and be in good health.
The Games include special activities for donor families, and Team Buffalo also welcomes other supporters to help us celebrate the power of donation and transplantation.
The next Transplant Games of America will take place in the summer of 2026.
