COLUMBUS, Ohio – Tuesday night at the Columbus Airport Mariott, Lifeline of Ohio honored pediatric organ and tissue donors who gave the “gift of life” in 2009.
Each of the families that attended the ceremony received a replica of a dedicated rose that will ride on the Donate Life Roase Parade Float during the Tournament of Roses Parade on Friday in Pasadena.
The Family Circle rose dedication program, which began in 2006, gives families an individual and emotional connection to the parade and the Donate Life Float. The garden features roses dedicated to donors across the country, each with a vial carrying a personal message of love, hope and remembrance.
Lifeline of Ohio estimates that more than 2900 Ohioans are waiting for organ transplants.
