ABOUT OUR NAME

A legacy is a gift from the past--and the gift of organ donation is the most precious gift of all. It is our purpose, our mission, our passion to help each person in Southern California become aware that he or she has one life in which to make one choice to give one gift and leave one legacy—a personal legacy of caring for others by helping children and adults live longer, fuller lives through organ and tissue transplantation.

The OneLegacy identity includes the organ donation symbol of three elegant, connected arches depicting the three “life bridges” that we build every day: from the donor to OneLegacy, from OneLegacy to the organ recipient, and from the donor to the recipient. The symbol is intended to remind people that every day the staff of OneLegacy is bridging lives. It is our sincere hope that the OneLegacy name will help the public discover that organ and tissue donation provides the opportunity to give greater meaning to their lives—and that of their loved ones.
