The yearly fundraiser is in memory of Joe Bottino, Jr. who passed away at age 42 in February 2007. Bottino passed away while waiting for a liver transplant due to liver failure. He left behind his wife Dianne Bottino and two children who decided to honor his memory in a special way.
“As we approached the first anniversary, we wanted to have an event in memory of Joe,” said Dianne Bottino. “We wanted to raise awareness of the critical need for organ donors, make an impact on the number of registered donors and raise funds to support educational programs and services offered by Gift of Life.”
