  Gift of Hope Community Foundation's 5K Run, Walk & Roll is a race to honor donor heroes and their families while celebrating with a community forever united by organ & tissue donation. This community consists of donor families, recipients, Gift of Hope employees, transplant centers, vendors, healthcare partners, community supporters and all their families and friends.
