Donate Life license plates drive awareness

The back bumpers of thousands of vehicles across the state sport the Donate Life logo specialty license plate which encourages residents to give the gifts of life, sight and mobility. 

The $35 plate became available in Michigan in 2012. Proceeds from sales go to the صندوق توماس دالي للهبة من الحياة to be used by the state to promote organ, tissue and eye donation. The fund is named after state Rep. Kevin Daley’s son, Thomas, who became an organ donor in early 2011 and saved the lives of four critically ill Michigan residents. 

We asked our readers to send us photos of their plates with vanity messages honoring donors, celebrating transplants, or promoting donation. 

Here’s a sample of the photos we received. 

To order a Donate Life specialty plate of your own, go to michigan.gov/sos/vehicle/license-plates.
