What is Jersey Day?
Each Jersey Day, we ask Australians to wear their favourite sporting jersey and have a conversation with family and friends about organ and tissue donation.
Jersey Day was inspired by 13-year-old Nathan Gremmo, who gave the gift of life to 6 people when he became an organ donor.
Jersey Day is all about raising awareness. It’s fun, free, and you could help save a life by registering as an organ and tissue donor and telling your family and friends.
How to get involved
1. Pop on your favourite jersey (or a Jersey Day jersey).
2. Take a photo or video in your jersey.
3. Post it on social media and tag @jerseydayau and use the hashtags #jerseydayau #donatelife.
4. Spread the word about organ and tissue donation in your caption. Some examples:
- ‘Jersey Day is the perfect opportunity to start a discussion with your loved ones about organ donation’
- ‘I’m wearing my favourite sporting jersey for Jersey Day, to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation’.
5. Have a conversation with your friends and family about organ and tissue donation.
