Public Awareness and Education
Together with volunteers, community advocates and hospital partners, our goal is to bring awareness to the importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
Education and outreach programs, a selection of which are highlighted below, are made possible by supporters like you and give hope to the nearly 4,000 New Jersey residents waiting for a lifesaving transplant.
Your Generosity at Work
5K Celebration of Life
New Jersey’s largest event supporting organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
The 5K Celebration of life is a special time of healing for those whose lives have been touched by organ and tissue donation.
This inspirational event brings together donor families, transplant recipients, volunteers, community groups and corporate and hospital partners while educating the public about the importance of donation and transplantation.
Rose Parade
The world’s most visible campaign to inspire organ and tissue donation.
Every New Year’s Day, the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float inspires countless people to say “yes” to organ and tissue donation. The float honors donor heroes with floral portraits and features grateful transplant recipients and living donors who celebrate the gift of life.
For more than 15 years, we have proudly sponsored New Jersey families to be honored on the float and participate in the week-long celebration in Pasadena. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and partners, their stories of hope, courage and compassion are celebrated on an international stage, inspiring others to register as organ and tissue donors.
Scholarships
Investing in the future leaders of our lifesaving mission.
Our Foundation supports the next generation through two scholarship programs; recognizing high school advocates who campion organ and tissue donation and supporting college students pursuing healthcare careers. These programs build a network of advocates and professionals dedicated to saving lives.
