The Perez family of North Bergen will celebrate the life of their son, Roberto, who became an organ donor after a brain aneurysm took his life in 1997. The family will create a floragraph – a portrait decorated with flowers, spices, seeds, and other organic materials – to be featured on the Donate Life’s Rose Parade Float. The float is shown around the country and is part of a national effort to raise awareness and encourage parade viewers to become organ donors.
The floragraph will be made on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 12 p.m. at the NJ Sharing Network at 691 Central Ave. in New Providence. For more information, call (908) 516-5400. Kidney recipient Robert Clark of Cape May and his family, one of five people saved by Roberto’s donation, will attend.
