Thank you to the sponsors of this year’s Donor Dash!


The Donor Dash has been our region’s premier event dedicated to the life-saving and transformative power of organ and tissue donation since 1996. The Dash includes a virtual option so anyone, anywhere can be part of this special event.

More than a quarter of a million people of all ages have taken part in the Donor Dash since its founding. The life-saving message of Dash reaches millions more each year through media and community participation. It all happens during National Donate Life Month to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation, register more donors, and pay tribute to those who gave the gift of life.

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 Howie’s House.

By supporting the Donor Dash, you help raise awareness about the critical need to register as an organ and tissue donor.
