EVENT HISTORY
The inaugural Gift of Life 5K event was held in 2009. Over the past 9 years, the event has raised $36,748 for the Gift of Life Transplant House and has averaged 200 participants. Race Founder, AJ Patrick was staying at Gift of Life Transplant House in 2008 when the idea for this event first occurred. Even from out of state, AJ was able to successfully organize and plan this event for several years. We are grateful for all of his hard work over the years! Read AJ's story here.
