FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – December 04, 2009

For more than 120 years, the Tournament of Roses Parade has been an American tradition. Lifeline of Ohio, the organ and tissue recovery agency serving central and southeastern Ohio, joins the national campaign to celebrate and honor the lifesaving gifts of organ and tissue donation as part of the seventh annual Donate Life 2010 Rose Parade Float, New Life Rises. The float will be in the 121st annual Tournament of Roses Parade on Friday, January 1, 2010 at 11 a.m. EST in Pasadena, CA.

New Life Rises will include a phoenix–the mythical symbol of life coming out of death–rising into the sky representing those who give life in their death and the people whose lives are renewed by their gifts. Adorning the bird’s tail feathers are 76 floragraphs–portraits created with organic material–of deceased donors who gave life to those in need. In addition, donors from across the country are memorialized in a garden of dedicated roses, with each rose vial carrying a personal message of love, hope and remembrance. Read More »
