Eight-by-Seventy-Five Campaign          Contribute Now

The Eight by Seventy-five initiative honors those whose lives have been touched by organ, eye, and tissue donation while raising funds to expand our valuable services. To pay tribute to family members, friends, or organizations, bricks, butterflies, and leaves can be purchased. The personalized bricks will be installed permanently in our Legacy walkway, and the personalized metallic butterflies and leaves will be displayed on our new Legacy Tree in the Lifebanc gardens.

The Gordon Bowen Saving & Healing Lives Fund         Contribute Now

After 38 years of dedicated service in organ donation and almost 24 years as Lifebanc’s CEO, Gordon Bowen will retire at the end of 2024. Gordon has been a visionary leader whose efforts have helped save, heal, and transform countless lives in northeast Ohio and beyond. In recognition of Gordon’s incredible work, the Lifebanc Board of Directors has established The Gordon Bowen Saving and Healing Lives Fund. Contributions to this fund will support various initiatives and projects aligning with Lifebanc’s mission and Gordon’s passion for donor heroes and their families.

Stories

The stories of our donor and recipient families are powerful, moving celebrations of life, hope, and love that get to the heart of why we do what we do, and the difference we can all make. Lifebanc believes that anyone can be a hero – and we see it every day in the generous decisions of people and families who choose and support organ and tissue donation. We’d like you to meet some of these heroes, and some of the Northeast Ohio neighbors they are helping.
