Special Events

Honor those who gave with a rose dedication on the 2008 Donate Life Rose Parade Float

Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network and organizers of the 2008 Donate Life Rose Parade® Float offer the opportunity for families and friends of donors, transplant recipients, hospitals and other organizations to honor those who gave the gift of life through the Family Circle Rose Dedication program.

Through the program, families and individuals can dedicate a rose on the 2007 Donate Life Rose Parade Float that bears the name of one who has given, received or awaits the gift of life.

Hospitals, transplant centers and organizations can also participate through a rose dedication package to honor individuals and families who have given, received and await the gift of life.
