The National Kidney Foundation (NKF), along with its many Affiliates/Divisions, presents the NKF 2010 U.S. Transplant Games celebration of life that includes transplant recipients, their friends and families, living donors, donor families, transplant professionals and spectators from the host community.

The Games is the only national athletic competition for recipients of all life-saving organ transplants, as well as the largest gathering of transplant recipients and donor families in the world. The Games serve to promote the health and fitness of its participants while showcasing the success of transplantation, highlighting the tremendous need for more organ and tissue donors, and honoring the thousands of selfless acts of love from donors and their families all over the world.

The Games is a four-day athletic competition for recipients of organ transplants. Competition in the Games is open to anyone whose most recent lifesaving solid organ transplant — heart, liver, kidney, lung, intestine, pancreas and/or heterologous bone marrow — has been functioning for at least six months.
