About the Transplant Games of America

For more than 33 years, the Transplant Games of America have brought together people whose lives have been shaped by organ, eye, and tissue donation. This six-day event includes transplant recipients, living donors, donor families, individuals waiting for transplant, and the professionals who support the donation and transplant process, along with caregivers, supporters, and community members.

The Games feature more than 20 athletic competitions for thousands of organ recipients and living donors, along with over 60 special events that honor donor families, share personal stories, and provide opportunities to learn and connect.

From June 18 to 23, 2026, Denver will host the next Transplant Games, welcoming participants from across the country and around the world in more than 40 TGA Teams. Events range from swimming and track to pickleball, darts, and ballroom dancing. Beyond competition, the Games support education, community-building, and advocacy efforts across the donation and transplant field.
