The Robert Gates Legacy Foundation which you can visit here – Rob Gates Legacy, Organ Donation Foundation | Facebook

The Rob Gates Legacy, Organ Donation Foundation, is in memory of Rob Gates. Rob passed away tragically due to injuries sustained in a car accident in 2001 at the young age of 24. Rob was an organ donor and saved 4 lives through his selfless gift of life. This Foundation is to raise money to provide relief to transplant recipients, their costs of rejection medications are thousands of dollars per month and they are needed to keep them alive.

Also, to provide scholarships in Rob’s name to a local high school. And to also provide financial relief to living donors as they have to take time off of work for testing work ups, surgery, etc, all to save someone’s life by giving the gift of life. April is Donate Life month, so be on the lookout for some super fun exciting events to go towards this amazing cause!

Organ donation can save lives and make a long lasting impact on those who need it the most.  A legacy is defined as, “the long-lasting impact of particular events, actions, etc. that took place in the past, or of a person’s life.”  So, think about that, what better legacy then knowing after you are gone, you can save the life of someone still fighting.
