Cleveland lands Donate Life Transplant Games for summer 2016
...
According to the release, 12 other cities submitted official bids to host the games. The release said Cleveland was selected due to its reputation for having world-class transplant centers at the Clinic and UH, and because of its available venues, lodging options, public transportation, flight schedules and reasonable driving distance from other markets.
“The Cleveland bid clearly demonstrated an overwhelming commitment to the rich history of the Transplant Games and the cause of donation and transplantation,” said Bill Ryan, president and CEO of the Transplant Games of America, in the release.
