Studio City Patch

Studio City resident Mamie Jackson will be on the Donate Life parade entry at the Kingdom Day Parade in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday.

Jackson is a kidney recipient and president and CEO of the Studio City-based National Organization for Renal Disease.

The Donate Life float is to inspire organ and tissue donation in the African American and multi-cultural communities of Los Angeles. Donate Life joins the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King with a special entry for the sixth year in the 27th annual Kingdom Day Parade.

Themed Get Onboard Donate Life, the double-decker bus, adorned with images of recipients and donors and featuring a quote from Dr. King, pays homage to his dream of a global community caring for one another regardless of race, creed or color.
