For more than 30 years, The American Legion, The American Legion Auxiliary, The Sons of the American Legion and The American Legion Riders have raised more than $1.7 million to help COTA kids. The American Legion helps families across the country to ensure that no child, teen or young adult is denied a life-saving transplant due to a financial barrier.

About COTA

The Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-related expenses. COTA's mission is to ensure that no family faces transplant alone and that every child has access to life-saving organ transplants regardless of their financial situation.

What COTA Provides:

  • Financial assistance for transplant-related medical expenses
  • Help with travel, lodging, and meal expenses during treatment
  • Post-transplant medication and care costs
  • Community fundraising support and guidance
  • Emotional support for families throughout the process
Important: COTA funds are used exclusively for transplant-related expenses and never for administrative costs.
