FACTS
Donation Fast Facts
30 SECONDS
It takes less time to sign up to be an organ donor than it does for a driver to complete a qualifying attempt at a dirt track.
8 MINUTES
In the time it takes to run a heat race at a dirt track, another person is added to the national transplant waiting list.
100,000 PEOPLE
More than 100,000 people nationwide are waiting for lifesaving organ transplants. That’s enough people to circle the oval at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway almost 10 times.
83 LIVES
One donor can save and heal 83 lives, which is nearly five times the number of IndyCar races in a year!
16 PEOPLE
Each day in the U.S., approximately 16 people die because the organ they needed didn’t become available in time. That’s equivalent to more than the first five rows of cars in the Indy 500 starting lineup.
