What is GTF?

The Georgia Transplant Foundation is focused on providing both financial and educational assistance for those undergoing or waiting for a transplant. Today, GTF is  the primary source for transplant patient assistance and support for all solid organ transplantation in the entire state of Georgia.
 

How Glavine Got Involved:

After a friend of Glavine's put a flyer in his mailbox about money needed for transplant recipients during recovery, he became a founding board member and a celebrity spokesman for GTF.
 

“GTF is dedicated to helping transplant recipients and their families. The work it does changes the lives of those recovering from a transplant by the extensive resources it provides,” Glavine said.
 

Tom Glavine's Spring Training:

Since it's start in 1992, Tom Glavine's "Spring Training" event has generated more than $4.3 million to benefit the Georgia transplant community. The event, a night of friendly competition to raise money and awareness for the transplant community, allows attendees to bid on items in a silent and live auction as well as mingle with other athletes and challenge them to games of ping-pong, air hockey, blackjack, pool, poker and more.
 

2008's event, held in the Oceans Ballroom at the Georgia Aquarium, raised more than $500,000 for transplant candidates, recipients, living donors, and their family members throughout the state of Georgia. More information on this year's event can be found HERE.
