Donate Life Rose Float Wins the Sweepstakes Award
What a spectacular day for the Donate Life community! An exciting time to bring awareness and education about organ donation and to sign up as a registered donor. Donate Life SC, and the transplant community of South Carolina came together in Pasadena to inspire the nation to register to give the gift of life.

Collectively, this did more for their community to save lives, and improve the quality of life to an extent, most people will never understand or appreciate.” The Donate Life Rose Float brings Donate Life communities together to bring awareness to the critical need for organ, eye and tissue donation for transplantation and to give hope to both donor families and grateful recipients. In addition, South Carolina is honored to have five honoree representatives on the float this year, including the living donation story of Thomas Dougall and Jo Byrd. “The story of Jo and Thomas represents the kindness that you or your neighbor can provide by becoming a donor, states Tracy Moore, Executive Director of Donate Life South Carolina. We believe that selflessness is what South Carolina is all about. South Carolina joins in celebrating the opportunity to rise ab
