With their capes flowing, more than 315 super participants answered the call of the 3rd Annual #BeTheGift: Donor Dash 5K Run/Walk!
Thanks to our runners, sponsors, volunteers and costume contest judges, we reached our goal of $20,000! All proceeds of this event will go to support scholarships for students in underserved communities wishing to pursue careers in healthcare.
We would like to highlight and thank the Capitol City Black Nurses Association, Philippine Nurses’ Association of America – California Capital City Chapter and the National Hispanic Nurses Association, Sacramento Chapter for their continued partnership!
Every year our superhero theme exemplifies what it means to be a hero by supporting organ, eye and tissue donation. We celebrated donor heroes, donor families, transplant recipients, healthcare workers, and anyone who has registered as an organ, eye, and tissue donor.
Featured Donor Hero Story: Grace Mayberry
Grace Mayberry was a local resident of West Sacramento and became an organ donor hero at the young age of 18.
Her family and friends have shown up in full force as the Graceful Warrior team since her passing in 2019, and they continue to be our strongest team!
We were honored to hear her story from her mother (Denise), dad (Peter), and sister (Mia).
