Donate Life Hollywood
Donate Life Hollywood (DLH) serves as a liaison between the organ donation community and the entertainment industry with the goal of seeing more authentic and empowering stories about donation and transplantation.
WHO WE ARE
Donate Life Hollywood is a project of the OneLegacy Foundation with support from Donate Life America, the 58 organ procurement organizations, tissue banks, transplant centers and people personally touched by donation.
2020 Donate Life Hollywood Partners have made a financial commitment to the Donate Life Hollywood program and are helping to bring to life the DLH Activate App, DLH Writer’s Portal and other signature initiatives to help Hollywood save lives.
WHY DONATE LIFE HOLLYWOOD
Myth-based storylines on television stop people from registering as donors, and could cost lives.
That is the conclusion in a series of research articles published by Dr. Susan Morgan. In 2008 Dr. Morgan called upon the organ donation and transplant community to have a stronger voice in working with Hollywood, and Donate Life Hollywood was born.
WHAT WE DO
We help Hollywood save lives.
Donate Life Hollywood provides film companies, television programs, entertainment studios, producers and writers have access to a network of experts -- from renowned transplant surgeons to families whose loved ones became an organ donor -- for free consultations on all aspects of organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation.
From pre-production support to creating life-saving partnerships, let us know how we can help. Contact us at twallace@onelegacy.org or 310-359-3631

Building a proactive relationship with "New Amsterdam" writers
Increasing donor registrations through a partnership with NBC
Inspiring powerful storylines, such as the honor walk on "The Good Doctor"
Amplifying national media coverage like on the Today Show
Working with the documentary Burden of Genius to create a student video contest
