Donor Alliance Hosts the 10th Annual Donor Dash -
A Run for Life
What:
Donor Alliance will host its signature event, the Donor Dash - a 5K run/walk to honor those who have given the gift of life, celebrate those who have received the gift of life and remember those still waiting for a transplant. This year marks a special anniversary - the 10th Annual Donor Dash.
The Donor Dash began in 2000 and has since evolved into one of the largest road races in the state of Colorado.
There will be fun for the whole family, including a 5K run/walk, 1K family non-competitive run/walk and diaper dash for toddlers under three. A recognition ceremony will be held after the race followed by a balloon release honoring donor families, recipients and transplant candidates. There will also be a Donate Life Garden to honor donors, transplant candidates and recipients as well as an expo area with food and entertainment.

This event is open to the public including individuals, teams, families and those impacted by organ and tissue donation who wish to participate or come support other racers.
