Make a Miracle - Raise Funds

For more than two decades, the Children’s Organ Transplant Association has helped give hope and make miracles for children and young adults who need or have had a life-saving transplant. 

COTA is the premier organization providing fundraising assistance to families facing a life-saving transplant.  Families from throughout the country, representing every ethnic, economic, religious, and social background, have looked to COTA for hope and miracles.  Along the way we have shared tears, we have conquered huge obstacles, we have celebrated miracles, and every day, we have hoped. 

You can join COTA in our mission to give hope and make miracles for children who need a second chance at life.

Making Miracles:

“TJ’s entire story is a miracle. On a seemingly routine trip to the ER to address possible dehydration from the flu, our healthy toddler nearly died as we watched. Since that evening, we have witnessed miracle after miracle with TJ. Thanks to COTA and his amazing transplant team, we are home and our boy is thriving.”
