The Dash for Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness is a collection of different courses, 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer runs, and a 3-kilometer walk designed to help promote organ and tissue donation and highlight the success of transplantation. All the distances depart from the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and continue along West River Drive and the banks of the Schuylkill River, drawing participants such as transplant candidates, transplant recipients and family members, hospital personnel, donor family members and the general public.
Join us at the 16th Annual Dash for Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness on Sunday, April 17th, 2011 at the base of the Art Museum steps. All proceeds support organ and tissue donor awareness programs.
That first Dash was held in April 1996, with 800 people and raised $17,000 for public education programs. But over the years, the event has grown vastly - more than 6,000 people attended last year's Dash and raised more than $400,000 to benefit organ and tissue donation awareness.
The Dash is organized by Gift of Life Donor Program, the region's non-profit organ and tissue donor network. Learn more about our organization including how to sign up as an organ and tissue donor by visiting www.donors1.org.
