The North Shore Bike Tour is held each spring on the beautiful North Fork of Long Island and brings in hundreds of participants from all over the Tri-State area. The 35-mile ride starts at Osprey’s Dominion Vineyard in Peconic and heads east out to Orient Beach State Park. Riders return back to Osprey’s Dominion Vineyard along the same beautiful course, passing through the celebrated North Fork towns of Greenport, East Marion and Southold. Cyclists of all levels of experience are encouraged to ride and help efforts to raise awareness for organ donation!

Donate Eight will be hosting their annual Spring Cocktail Reception at Gotham Hall in New York City to raise awareness for the lifesaving power of organ donation in our communities. Proceeds raised will benefit LiveOnNY Foundation. Purchase tickets at www.liveonny.org/donate-eight

The Lap4life Foundation started for Maria Casabianca-Reade's brother, Angelo, who battled a desmoid tumor and ultimately had a small intestine transplant. Each year at the start of the event they honor an individual or individuals battling these illnesses. This year at the opening ceremony they will be welcoming those suffering from a desmoid tumor, those who have had an organ transplant, or those who are in need of a lifesaving organ transplant.
