RIVERSIDE: Family of organ donor participate in walk

Press Enterprise

Brandon Pentz, of Riverside, became an organ donor after he died in 2010 from an accidental fall. Since then, his family has been actively bringing attention to organ donation — raising funds for the Brandon Pentz Memorial Foundation to help those affected by traumatic brain injury and organ donation education.

This year his family and friends have formed “Team Brandon Pentz Memorial Foundation” to participate in the 10th annual Donate Life Run/Walk on Saturday at the Intramural Field at Cal State Fullerton.

Proceeds from the event will support Donate Life California Organ & Tissue Donor Registry enrollment campaigns.
