Donate Life Rose Parade® Float2014 Rider Sponsored by Ryan Viator’s Legacy

Following their life-changing experience as participants in the 2013 Donate Life Rose Parade Float campaign, the family of Ryan Robert Viator is pleased to offer the nation’s organ, tissue and eye recovery organizations an opportunity to nominate a donor family for a Floragraph on the Donate Life float in the 2014 Rose Parade.

Ryan Robert Viator was a loving and tenderhearted young man with a great spirit of adventure and belief in staying healthy. At the age of 20, he was the proud owner of a health club in Lafayette, LA, that inspired others to live healthy lifestyles. On April 7, 2000, Ryan’s life ended, but three others were able to live thanks to the donation of Ryan’s liver and kidneys. Ryan was never able to realize two of his dreams: flying in a fighter jet and visiting California. Donation made both possible, as one of his recipients is a retired Air Force pilot and his floragraph portrait was featured in the 2013 Rose Parade.

The Donate Life Float CampaignThe Donate Life Rose Parade Float campaign, a national program of the OneLegacy Foundation, is supported by more than 120 official sponsors, including organ and tissue recovery organizations, tissue and eye banks, hospitals, transplant centers and affiliated organizations. Last year’s Donate Life float was seen by an estimated 800,000 parade spectators and more than 30 million U.S. TV viewers, and tens of millions more heard about the float’s lifesaving mission in broadcast and print news stories about the float and its participants. The 125th Rose Parade, themed Dreams Come True, will take place on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at 8:00am PST.

ExpectationsThe opportunity for transplant recipients to participate in the 2014 Donate Life Rose Parade Float campaign comes with several expectations. In particular, Riders are participants in the most inspiring float in one of the most-watched events in the world, and as such are commonly the subject of media stories in the weeks leading up to the parade. Thus, all Riders are expected to be available for media interviews as opportunities arise. In addition, Riders and their guests have the opportunity to attend special Donate Life events in Pasadena from Dec. 29 through New Year’s Day. Please note that while the Rider Sponsorship has been made possible by a generous contribution from Ryan Viator’s Legacy, the transportation, local lodging and event ticket costs for a party of two (approximately $2,500 to $3,000) are the responsibility of the nominating organization.

RequirementsIndividuals nominated to ride the Donate Life float must:

1. be recipients of organ, tissue or cornea transplant;2. be between 12 and 29 years of age on January 1, 2014;3. meet and agree to participate in accordance with the 2014 Donate Life Float Rider
