NJ Sharing Network

At NJ Sharing Network, we have discovered there are so many stories to be told and so much to be shared about organ and tissue donation. This is a place where transplant recipients, donor families, patients waiting for a life-saving transplant, volunteers, NJ Sharing Network staff, community members and advocates can share their insights. To learn more about organ and tissue donation in New Jersey, visit www.NJSharingNetwork.org.

YOU DID IT!


Hi Friends!

YOU DID IT! I am very happy to announce that the 5K Celebration of Life has officially raised $1 Million! Thank you to all who contributed to make this goal possible. Your continuous generosity never ceases to amaze me!

With these funds, the NJ Sharing Network Foundation will continue to provide support to numerous projects and programs. Some of these areas include laboratory research, donor family support, education for our hospital partners and community outreach to spread our life-saving message.

The amount of funds raised is not the only milestone we reached at the 5th Annual 5K Celebration of Life event. With two locations, and a combined total of over 12,000 attendees, we had our highest level of participation yet. We also had a record-breaking total of over 450 volunteers to help us make both events absolutely perfect! Be sure to check out all the awesome photos on our Facebook page!

Psst - I even heard talk of adding a third location next year – how exciting would that be?!

With your hard work and dedication, YOU make all of these things possible. We’re so lucky to have such AMAZING people as our advocates. Congratulations to our entire NJ Sharing Network family for reaching this achievement.

XOXO,

Ms. Pumps
PS: Just because the 5K is over doesn’t mean I’ll be slowing down anytime soon! With two cycling events and our Annual Golf Classic coming up, I have a lot of training to do! So strap on that helmet and start practicing your back-swing - I hope you can join me!
