In front of thousands of onlookers – and perhaps millions of Americans watching on television – the Donate Life float in the Rose Bowl parade prominently displayed a portrait of Dobson's face, along with dozens of other faces from around the world. The state trooper and Western New York native died in an accident in 2011, but he cemented his legacy by donating his tissue, estimated to have helped make 70 other people healthier. That's why an organization called CryoLife chose to sponsor Dobson on the Donate Life float— as a shining example of the impact donations can have.
"That was an amazing gift," said Michele Mehaffy, a media and communications specialist with the non-profit Unyts. "It is so well-deserved."
