Iowa Transplant Open | Benefitting Team Iowa

The Iowa Trans­plant Open was estab­lished to raise aware­ness of organ and tis­sue dona­tion, while sup­port­ing Team Iowa. All funds raised from the Open will go toward Team Iowa’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in the Trans­plant Games of Amer­i­ca. Team Iowa cel­e­brates the gifts of organ, eye, and tis­sue dona­tion and encour­ages oth­ers to reg­is­ter as a donor. By com­pet­ing in the Trans­plant Games of Amer­i­ca we hon­or our donors, our donor fam­i­lies and cel­e­brate life. Our ath­letes have received an organ, bone mar­row, tis­sue or corneal trans­plant or are a liv­ing donor, and donor fam­i­lies, friends and loved ones.
