When Allen Acree was in third grade, he knew he wanted to be a firefighter. He was a blonde-haired boy who was a natural athlete. He was a good student and a bit shy. When he grew up, he worked two jobs to save enough money to attend fire school – even sleeping in his truck and forgoing a hotel to save money.
Help us celebrate 40 years of Saving Lives, Restoring Health, and Giving Hope at this year's Celebration of Life Gala. This elegant event provides a unique opportunity for organizations and individuals in the community to support an important cause. Together we can help spread awareness of the need for organ and tissue donation, in addition to advancing lifesaving research programs and supporting initiatives focused on the families of our donors, whose gifts are never forgotten.
