SUMMARY:National Minority Donor Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:An initiative to save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNational Minority Donor Awareness Month\, celebrated annually in August\, is a nationwide observance to save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ\, eye\, and tissue donation. Founded in 1996 by the National Minority Organ Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP)\, the observance aims to bring heightened awareness to the significant need for donation and transplantation affecting Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) –  focusing primarily on African American/Black\, Hispanic/Latinx\, Asian Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan Native communities.  \n\n\n\nPeople of most races and ethnicities in the U.S. donate in proportion to their representation in the population. The need for transplant is disproportionately high among BIPOC\, and particularly among African Americans/Blacks\, frequently due to a high incidence of conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes\, both of which can lead to the need for a kidney transplant. \n\n\n\nFor example\, African Americans/Blacks\, Asians and Pacific Islanders\, and Hispanics/Latinxs are three times more likely than Whites to suffer from end-stage renal (kidney) disease\, often as the result of high blood pressure and other conditions that can damage the kidneys. While African Americans/Blacks make up about 15% of New York’s population\, they represent one-third of the 8\,018 people on New York’s organ transplant waiting list. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nData and Statistics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRace/Ethnicity% of NY Population% of Organ Waitlist% of Organ Transplants (2019)% of Organ Donors (2019)White55%34%47%62%African American/Black18%33%23%15%Hispanic/Latinx19%21%19%17%Asian9%11%9%5%American Indian/Alaska Native1%0%0%0%Pacific Islander0%0%0%0%Multiracial3%1%1%0%\n\n\n\n	\n					Featured Stories of Hope\n		\n		\n\n			\n				\n					\n					\n						"I named my kidney 'Hercules.'
