Dash to Save Lives Since 1996, Gift of Life Donor Program, together with our dedicated volunteers, has hosted the Donor Dash to promote organ and tissue donation. The Dash celebrates the life-saving power of donation and honors all of the donors who give others a second chance at life. The popular annual event, which attracts more than 10,000 people from throughout the tristate region, raises essential funds to educate the community about the need for more people to register as organ and tissue donors. Held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it is our largest and most visible event of the year. The need to educate the public about the importance of registering as organ and tissue donors is a critical - and escalating public health issue. With ongoing advancements in transplantation, the need for organ donation grows. Twenty people die each day in the U.S. waiting for an organ. Currently, there are approximately 5,200 men, women and children in this region waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, 114,000 waiting nationally. Gift of Life is looking for partners who want to help us raise awareness of this important issue. Please join us as a sponsor and help us save lives! Proceeds from the Donor Dash benefit the Transplant Foundation, the charitable foundation that supports programs and activities for donor and recipient families. These include Team Philadelphia s participation at the Donate Life Transplant Games of America and the Gift of Life Family House. For more information about the Dash or to register as an organ and tissue donor, visit donors1.org.
