Your Support is Vital to the LifeNet Health Foundation

Supporting the LifeNet Health Foundation is a great way to join us in saving lives, restoring health, and giving hope. Working together, we can make strides to advance the cause of organ and tissue donation. More than 100,000 Americans are waiting on a lifesaving organ. Millions of others need a tissue transplant to help them recover from debilitating injuries or chronic illnesses. Your support is a vital part of giving others a second chance at life.

Supporting Donor Families

Your contributions will also support the families of our donors. Outreach efforts are centered on offering healing, points of connection, and hope. This is part of our commitment to provide 30 months of ongoing support to help everyone navigate their grief journey. Through the Foundation, you can help support:

• Events that honor each donor, including holiday remembrances, and give families the opportunity to connect, like summer baseball games.
• Hospital memorials to honor donors throughout Virginia.
• The Donate Life Rose Parade float, which honors at least one LifeNet Health donor every year, and is a key part of the effort to highlight the importance of organ and tissue donation nationwide.

Community Education

Contributions enable us to offer high-quality education programs to the public, health care providers, and community partners. Our goal is to emphasize the importance of organ and tissue donation, including spreading the word about all the good it can do. 

Research Programs

Contributions can also help advance research programs to enable breakthroughs that can advance health around the world. In this way, we honor the decisions of donors who want to contribute to scientific advancements that can help humanity.

• Race for Hope 5K/1 Mile Race
