Georgia Southern student recognized for registering 300 bone marrow donors

Brianne Dollar (pictured center-right) receives the Steve Bochco Award at the Gift of Life gala in Los Angeles. She received the honor thanks to her being responsible for more than 30 fundraising drives and registering over 300 bone marrow donors.

A Georgia Southern University student is saving lives, and is now receiving national recognition for her work.

In May 2022, Dollar attended a gala in Los Angeles for Gift of Life, an organization supporting bone marrow transplants. Dollar has been an ambassador for the organization for years and is responsible for organizing events in the group’s name.

While there, she was surprised with the Steve Bochco Award, named after the late television writer and producer, who had leukemia.

The accomplishment is the culmination of hard work and passion for the cause. For Dollar, the journey was far from an easy one.
