“The Donate Life Run/Walk is one of the few community events that allows people of all ages and walks of life to come together for the common goal of inspiring the community to donate life! I challenge mayors from Orange County and beyond to take part in this one of a kind event and support those who have been touched by donation and transplantation. You CAN make a difference!”

-Sharon Quirk Mayor of Fullerton and 2008 Co-Sponsor

“We have all been commanded to ‘love our neighbor’.  After attending the Donate Life Run/Walk, it became very clear to me that Donate Life manifests fulfillment of this commandment in a very significant manner.”

-John J. Collins, Mayor, City of Fountain Valley

“I have had the privilege of attending this emotional and uplifting event two years in a row with my daughter.  You just never know when someone might need your help whether it be a blood donation or an organ donation.  God Bless all of you and best wishes to a successful event year after year.”

-Catherine Driscoll, Councilwoman Los Alamitos
