Iowa Transplant Open


Benefitting Team Iowa

The Iowa Trans­plant Open was estab­lished to raise aware­ness of organ and tis­sue dona­tion, while sup­port­ing Team Iowa. Team Iowa team mem­bers sup­port the Open by vol­un­teer­ing the day of the event to assist with logis­tics and orga­ni­za­tion, as well as seek spon­sor­ships and auc­tion items. All funds raised from the Open will go toward Team Iowa’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in the 2024 Donate Life Trans­plant Games of America.
