OKC Comets and LifeShare of Oklahoma Encourage Organ Donation Through Continued Partnership

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Comets encourage Oklahomans to register as LifeShare Everlasting Fans throughout the 2025 baseball season as the team continues its impactful partnership with LifeShare of Oklahoma to help raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation in the state.

April is National Donate Life Month and coincides with the start of a new baseball season in Bricktown. Guests at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark can sign up at Comets home games starting this week and continuing through the 2025 season to become a LifeShare Everlasting Fan. Those who register as an organ, eye and tissue donor at the promotions kiosk (located on the concourse behind section 109) will receive a limited-edition T-shirt.

LifeShare celebrates National Donate Life Month each April to raise awareness for the need for Oklahomans to register their decision to be organ, eye and tissue donors and to share their decision with family. Currently, more than 115,000 people across the United States are awaiting a lifesaving transplant, including more than 800 Oklahomans.

Since 2016, more than 7,000 people have registered to become an organ donor at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark through the partnership with LifeShare of Oklahoma, including more than 4,200 over just the last four seasons.

LifeShare of Oklahoma is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the recovery of organs and tissue for transplant purposes. LifeShare, created in 1986, works closely with 159 hospitals in Oklahoma and numerous transplant centers across the country to facilitate donations. The organization set a record with 645 lives saved in 2024 through the gift of 746 lifesaving transplants — the most ever in a single year in Oklahoma, and the 11th consecutive record-breaking year, according to LifeShare’s website.

National Donate Life Month began in 2003 and is celebrated each April to “help raise awareness about donation, encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives though the gift of donation,” according to the Donate Life America website.
