The Lifebanc Gift of Life Walk & Run is a powerful community event celebrating organ, eye and tissue donors, honoring their loved ones, recognizing transplant recipients, and providing hope to those still waiting for a hero. Join us on Sunday, August 23, 2026 at Blossom Music Center for a 5K race, 1K walk, family activities, food trucks, music, and more — all in support of Lifebanc’s mission to educate our community about organ, eye, and tissue donation and support donor families throughout Northeast Ohio.

The need for organ and tissue donors in Northeast Ohio is great. Lifebanc pursues a future where everyone on the transplant waiting list receives a life-saving transplant. All fundraising goes towards educating the community about organ, eye, and tissue donation for transplantation as well as providing support services for donor families.
