Miracle Maker Celebration

40th Anniversary Celebration

Celebrating 40 Years of the
Children’s Organ Transplant Association

The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a national charity dedicated to helping families of children and young adults who need a life-saving transplant. COTA is turning 40, and you are part of our story.

Each year COTA works with thousands of Miracle Makers to bring hope to transplant families across the country. As the premier organization providing a lifetime of support to transplant families, we offer these services at no cost.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended COTA’s 40th Anniversary Celebration. The results are in … DRUM ROLL PLEASE … we set a record, raising more than $400,000 and unlocking a matching gift of $100,000 from the Adam R. Scripps Foundation! Because of your support, COTA is able to fulfill our mission of helping children and young adults who need a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support at no cost to our families … for a lifetime.

Please help us celebrate and further the hope-giving assistance COTA provides to transplant families. Your support will help ensure that no child or young adult is denied a life-saving transplant, or access to a transplant waiting list, due to a lack of funds. You can join the celebration and make a gift here!
