The Legacy Garden

The Legacy Garden is a special place within the Gift of Life Walk and Run honoring those individuals whose lives have been touched by organ, tissue, eye donation or transplantation. The Legacy Garden is filled with photograph-bearing signs celebrating the lives of those touched by the Gift of Life. In an opening ceremony inside the garden, hundreds of balloons are launched in memory of loved ones and to honor living donors and transplant recipients.
