Inspired by the Rose Parade's theme Hats Off To Entertainment, the 2009 Donate Life float features the Stars of Life Walk of Fame. Modeled after the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this cluster of 14 stars honors luminaries in the field of donation and transplantation who have made a positive, lasting impact on organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation through their contributions to medicine, the community, and public policy.
