Volunteer Groups and Initiatives
Gift of Life Donor Program has an array of volunteer groups and programs based out of its central office in Philadelphia, PA. We also work with and support several regional volunteer coaltions and groups.
Participants and volunteers gather on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art during the annual Dash for Donor Awareness.
