The Donate Life Float, with the theme “Light Up the World,” will be the 15th of 91 elements in the parade. As the fifth of 45 floats in the parade, the float will appear in the first 30 minutes of the two-hour telecast.
ABC serves as the official broadcaster of the parade, and its sister network ESPN currently airs the Rose Bowl. The parade also airs on other networks, including NBC and Univision.
Families of 81 organ, eye and tissue donors from across the United States will complete memorial “floragraph” portraits of their loved ones. Each honored individual is remembered by their generosity, compassion, and lives saved and healed through donations after death. The floragraphs will grace the lanterns of light that illuminate 30 float riders – all transplant recipients – and the 12 living donors who will accompany them on foot along the five-mile route.
Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network (FLDRN) is proud once again to be associated with the Donate Life Float. During the parade, the organ procurement organization will celebrate the life of deceased organ donor Christine Springer. And, together with the University of Rochester Medical Center, the organ procurement organization will also honor transplant recipient Richard Perez.
