NORTH CAROLINA TRANSPLANT ATHLETES
WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE!
North Carolina Transplant Athletes, or Team NC, is a group of organ recipients, caregivers, living donors, donor family members, and others in the transplant community who raise awareness for organ donation while fundraising to travel to the Transplant Games of America every two years. In addition to being an Olympic-style sports and talent competition, the Games is about remembering, making connections, sharing stories of triumph, and — most importantly — celebrating life! Learn more about the Transplant Games of America.

Team NC currently communicates through emails about Transplant Games-related information, and other group opportunities. We welcome new members so don’t be shy! Join our email list now to start receiving notifications.
Our team is mostly made up of organ recipients, but open to anyone connected to organ donation – young and old! But we are not all athletes! Most of us try to be active and healthy people. Most importantly, we all share a special gift that comes from knowing how precious life can be. Read more about our team!
There are many ways to support our team. In addition to sponsorships and financial donations (which are tax-deductible!), we welcome collaboration ideas and donations of goods and services. We can always use a hand! Please, just get in touch. You can also follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
