HONOR · CELEBRATE · RECOGNIZE

 

The 9th Annual Donor Dash will take place on Sunday, July 13, 2008 in Washington Park.

The Donor Dash is a 5K run/walk for runners, walkers and the entire family to honor the lives of organ and tissue donors, celebrate the lives of organ and tissue recipients, and recognize the lives of those waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

Donor Dash began in 2000 to raise awareness for the tremendous need for organ and tissue donation in Colorado and Wyoming. Since its inception, the Donor Dash has gained the support of the community and has evolved into one of the largest 5K races in the state.
