OneLegacy's Donate Life Rose Parade® Float Announces Its 2026 Float Theme, Treasure Every Moment Together

The Float Will Feature Dozens of Organ, Eye and Tissue Donors, Recipients and Living Donors on New Year's Day to Celebrate the Power of Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OneLegacy announced the theme of their 2026 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float, Treasure Every Moment Together. This entry will be featured in the 137th Rose Parade® presented by Honda on January 1, 2026, in Pasadena, California. As part of this iconic New Year's Day celebration, OneLegacy's float will join dozens of floral floats, marching bands, and equestrian units riding down Colorado Boulevard. The 2026 Rose Parade® theme, The Magic in Teamwork, celebrates the power of collaboration and collective achievement. It emphasizes that exceptional results come from a willingness to work together. Organ donation and transplantation rely on the coordinated efforts of hospitals, organ procurement organizations, transplant centers, donors, and recipients. When an organ donor gives the gift of life to a recipient, it exemplifies the theme chosen by Tournament of Roses President Mark Leavens. "OneLegacy has long been an inspiring presence in the Rose Parade," says Leavens. "Their float is more than a beautiful display; it's a powerful reminder of what's possible when people come together with compassion and purpose. Their message of generosity, hope, and teamwork reflects the very best of our community." OneLegacy's twenty-third entry into the Rose Parade®, Treasure Every Moment Together, highlights gratitude for moments shared with others. This lush tropical paradise is a reminder that registered organ, eye, and tissue donors offer the greatest treasure: the gift of life. Grateful organ recipients will sail through Pasadena, California, in two traditional canoes placed at the front of the float. The 2026 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® Float honors a community of people touched by the power of organ, eye, and tissue donation. Charles Meier, an award-winning float designer, created the vision for the 2026 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float. Three regal, great hornbill birds perch along the float, accompanied by monarch butterflies. Like donation and transplantation, great hornbills play a crucial role in sustaining the circle of life in their communities. Monarch butterflies represent transformation and rebirth and are often used as symbols of donation and transplantation. The centerpiece, an open treasure chest, overflows with flowers, pearls, and Floragraphs – floral portraits of organ, eye, and tissue donors. Artistic Entertainment Services (AES) will bring the float to life under the direction of the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float crew. Over fifteen hundred organ, eye and tissue donation advocates volunteer their time to decorate the float with organic materials such as seeds, grains, bark, and flowers. The decorating shifts commence in October and end in December, culminating in the premiere of the finished float on New Year's Day. OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float decorating shifts are posted on the float's website. "Every year, millions of people are inspired by the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float – partners, volunteers, donor families, recipients, living donors, parade attendees, and viewers around the world," said Prasad Garimella, CEO of OneLegacy. "In 2026, Treasure Every Moment Together reminds us that renewed life is the invaluable gift that organ, eye, and tissue donors leave behind." As the world's most visible campaign for organ, eye, and tissue donation, the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade®, float, produced by OneLegacy, is made possible by support from major organizations across the country. OneLegacy offers many sponsorship opportunities to those interested in amplifying the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation on a global scale. A full list of sponsorship opportunities can be found on the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float website. The OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float visually shows the impact of organ, eye, and tissue donation. California residents can learn more and register today on the OneLegacy website. Those outside of California can visit the National Donate Life Registry. About OneLegacy OneLegacy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through organ, eye, and tissue donation throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Kern counties. Working in close collaboration with hospitals and transplant centers, OneLegacy ensures the recovery of vital organs and tissues. Make a difference: become an organ, eye, and tissue donor by registering at or by checking "YES" at your local DMV. If you're not already a donor, we encourage you to consider registering today.

Rock solid idea: New London-area craft brewer targets curlers

The owner of a curling apparel company is looking to score in the craft beer industry by launching a brewery whose suds will be marketed to the sport's enthusiasts. Mark Kean is a competitive curler who co-owns Runback – a company that designs custom curling sportswear such as jackets, uniforms and shirts – with his wife Mallory. He says Woodstock-based Runback Brewing is 'Canada's first-ever brewery built specifically for the curling community.' Teaming up with Upper Thames Brewing Company, a Woodstock craft brewery started in 2016, Runback Brewing is launching word of its new beers this week and intends to begin selling its products in Ontario curling facilities in August or September when curling season resumes, Kean said. 'Part of this idea kind of came from (Upper Thames),' Kean said. 'They wanted to partner with us to name some beers through Upper Thames, and I said, 'Well, let's take it another step further,' and I'd thought about this idea for a long time.' Upper Thames is making Runback Brewing's beers at its Woodstock facility, Kean said, noting the company is beginning with a hazy India pale ale and light lager, but will look to branch into other brews including non-alcoholic at a later time. Kean is an accomplished curler who played in the Brier, a tournament that determines the top men's curling team in the country. Curling, like other sports, has a social aspect, he said, 'especially in Ontario' in which 'it's almost built into the sport' for two teams of four curlers to sit down following a match to have a friendly beer or two. 'Sure, you compete against these people on the ice, but then at the end of the day, you sit down and have a beverage with them,' Kean said. Born in Innerkip, a small town about 10 kilometres northeast of Woodstock, Kean said he developed a passion for curling at a young age. He said he named the sportswear company he formed in 2013 Runback after the 'exciting' curling shot in which a stone bumps a second stone that knocks a third stone out of play. Kean believed curling, a sport sometimes known as chess on ice for the strategic and tactical nature of the game, lacked an apparel brand geared toward curlers the way other sports had. Fast-forward 12 years and Kean's impetus for founding a brewing company resembles his motivation for establishing an apparel company: to fill a void in the curling community. 'So, similar idea to the clothing, is that curling hasn't really had a beer,' Kean said, though he acknowledged some brewing companies had created individual beers that paid tribute to the sport and its more recognizable athletes. 'We want to be the brand for curlers and with the clothing, that kind of naturally played into the beer. We want to tell the stories about curlers and be that lifestyle brand for them, so that's kind of the vision.' Kean said also that he's looking at ways to give back to the sport through beer sales, including donating to the Sandra Schmirler Foundation, an organization that raises money to buy life-saving equipment for premature and critically ill babies in Canada. Schmirler was a Canadian curling star. Although Upper Thames is brewing Runback's beer at their facility in Woodstock, Kean said a dream would be to have a curling rink and Runback Brewing under one roof someday. 'That's definitely the long-term goal.' bwilliams@ Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again. You may unsubscribe at any time.
