“Team Dre's Dawgs was created in memory of my dad, Andre ‘Dre’ Di Dio.

On December 23, 2025, just two days before Christmas, our family lost my dad suddenly. While our hearts will never be the same, we find comfort in knowing that through organ donation, he was able to help others and leave behind a legacy of generosity, kindness, and hope.

If you knew my dad, you knew he had a huge heart. He made people feel seen, valued, and loved. He loved his family fiercely, never missed an opportunity to make people laugh, and had an incredible ability to find joy in life's simplest moments.

And of course, we can't tell his story without mentioning hot dogs. My dad was a JJ's superfan (if you know, you know) and could find happiness in a hot dog anywhere. That's exactly where the name "Dre's Dawgs" comes from. But the hot dogs represent something bigger: his ability to appreciate the little things. Give him a Steelers game, a Napoli match, the people he loved, and maybe a hot dog in his hand, and he was content.

The 5K means community, remembrance, and honoring my dad's legacy.

Grief can be incredibly isolating, so being surrounded by people who understand loss and who are walking for their loved ones is both comforting and healing. NJ Sharing Network has connected us with a community that reminds us we are not alone.

Most importantly, the 5K is a way for me to keep my dad's memory alive. I want to make sure his story continues to be told. Through Team Dre's Dawgs, we celebrate who he was, honor his final gift as an organ donor, and keep finding ways to carry his love, kindness, and spirit forward.

Today, Team Dre's Dawgs honors not only my dad's memory, but also his final gift as an organ donor. We are proud to support NJ Sharing Network and help raise awareness about the life-changing impact of organ and tissue donation. Thank you for helping us celebrate the life, legacy, and big heart of an incredible dad, friend, and all-around great guy. We miss you and love you so much, Dad.

Team Tink will walk in their 16th 5K Celebration of Life on June 7 in New Providence. The team was started in honor of Esther Calavano, who donated one of her kidneys to her dear friend Mary Ginsberg, who needed a transplant due to Polycystic Kidney Disease. This June, Mary celebrates 16 years with her gift of life.

Team Tink was impacted by our lifesaving mission again in 2025, when Mary's niece, Michelle, received a kidney and liver transplant. They also walk in her honor.

This , we’re sharing Nancy Nusbaum’s incredible journey to restored sight through corneal transplantation.

For 35 years, Nancy worked with The Seeing Eye, Inc. , supporting people who are blind or visually impaired and helping raise 21 guide dog puppies with her husband, Martin. But while dedicating her life to helping others navigate vision loss, Nancy didn’t realize she was experiencing her own.

In her mid-30s, a routine eye exam revealed she had congenital corneal disease in both eyes.

“I never understood why people loved the color blue so much because to me, it always looked dusty and gray,” Nancy said.

As her vision worsened over the years, she came close to losing her sight completely. Thanks to successful corneal transplants, Nancy was able to see the world clearly and vividly for the first time.

One moment she’ll never forget happened while driving with her husband.

“I saw a car and said, ‘Wow! What color is that? It’s incredible!’ Martin smiled and said, ‘That’s blue, Nancy.’ I had never truly seen the color blue before.”

Nancy’s story is a beautiful reminder of the life-changing impact of corneal donation and the hope it can bring to others. 💙💚

Dale Steele was a humble man whose actions often spoke louder than his words. A WWII veteran, artist, and rancher, Dale lived a life of intention and generosity. Dale donated his liver and became the country's oldest organ donor at 100 years old.

This May, we celebrate by honoring the wisdom, strength, and generosity of older adults, including those who have given or received the gift of life through organ and tissue donation.

Anyone can can register to lives as an organ and tissue donor. Join the donor registry today at NJSharingNetwork.org/Register 💙💚
