The 2023 parade theme is “Lifting Each Other Up,” and Donate Life’s goal is to encourage more people to become organ donors.

There are over 600 Nevadans on the organ transplant waiting list and thousands more across the country. “Its still amazing to me that its something we can do, and its that easy you go to DMV and filling out the donor part,” said Jeff McKillip, Lavender’s dad. “Their decision to become an organ donor is what allowed my child to be standing here next to me today, because she would not be here today if not for that decision that that family made in one of the most difficult times in their life, to allow their child to be an organ donor and I just have so much gratitude for them,” said Theresa McKillip, Lavender’s mom. After getting a liver transplant in May 2021, McKillip got a new lease on life, something she and her family will forever be grateful to her anonymous donor family for. For over 10 years McKillip dealt with health struggles, with doctors unable to diagnose her, until she was eventually diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis which affects the liver.
