MDA uses its collective strength to help kids and adults live longer and grow stronger by finding research breakthroughs across diseases, caring for individuals from day one and empowering families with services and support in hometowns across America.

Donor Dash -  Sunday, April 15

Since 1996, Gift of Life Donor Program, together with their dedicated volunteers, has hosted the Donor Dash to promote organ and tissue donation.  The Dash celebrates the life-saving power of donation and honors all of the donors who give others a second chance at life.  
The popular annual event, which attracts more than 12,000 people from throughout the tristate region, raises essential funds to educate the community about the need for more people to register as organ and tissue donors.

All funds raised go to the Woodlands, because they're the best and they're hosting the event again this year!

Run Fest - Sunday, June 3rd
