HONOR · CELEBRATE · RECOGNIZE

SAVE THE DATE!

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.

THANK YOU

Donor Alliance would like to thank all of the amazing individuals that helped make Donor Dash 2007 a huge success!

It is only with the generous sponsors, the hardworking employees of The Downing Group (our official road race management company), the dedicated members of the Donor Dash Committee, the 100+ devoted volunteers and the thousands of participants that this event is possible.

With everyone's efforts combined we were able to increase race participation to a record breaking 1,658 participants - an increase of nearly 700. This is an unbelievable accomplishment.

Since the event, we have received many wonderful comments, but the most meaningful are those regarding the apparent impact that this event continues to have on the community. Thank you for your commitment, thank you for your support and thank you for continuing to be an advocate for organ and tissue donation.
