Donate Life Run/Walk
The annual Donate Life Run/Walk, which occurs on the first Saturday after Labor Day, is Donor Network West’s only fundraising event. The 5K and 10K raises awareness for organ and tissue donation and encourages people to register as organ donors. All proceeds from the event benefit donation education and honor the donors and their families who have given the Gift of Life in California and Nevada.
Got the Dot
Got the Dot serves as an opportunity for local businesses in California to celebrate patrons who are registered as organ donors. The pink dot on their driver’s license or ID card provides a discount or a special offer at participating businesses.
