Our event supports the Georgia Transplant Foundation. An organization that assists individuals before and after an organ transplant. Three-13’s managing partner Lester, a two-time heart transplant recipient, founded this event in 2011 after his second heart transplant.
The event draws over 700 guests and Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we donated $107,000 to the Georgia Transplant Foundation in 2024!
We are so looking forward to our 15th Annual “Angels of Life” Our event starts with five Bake Sales which will run every other Saturday leading to our event.
Our Bake Sales raise over $25,000 in donations each year and feature both sweet and savory snacks, as well as arts and crafts prepared by all of your favorite Three-13 employees.
Lester E. Crowell Jr., our Managing Partner and two-time heart transplant recipient fought his entire life living with IHSS (Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) and at the age of 43, he received his first heart transplant when his native heart could nolonger fight.
Following his first transplant, Lester was living healthy and well, feeling better than ever before. However, after nine-years the transplanted heart developed chronic rejection, similar to coronary artery disease, a common threat to all transplanted organs… He was put on the transplant list again, living with a new daily fear of suffering a possible massive heart attack.
On December 3, 2010 Lester received the life changing call that a new heart was found and was waiting for him. After a successful second transplant, Lester woke up inspired and full of gratitude… this is when Angels of Life was born. His passion to help others in the transplant community has become a life mission.
OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS donated: The Georgia Transplant Foundation’s (GTF) work never stops, people never stop having the need for organ transplants so neither will our fundraising!
In 14 short years, Angels of Life has donated $1,057,313 to the Georgia Transplant Foundation through the efforts of Three-13’s in-salon Bake Sales and selling $5 Angels in-salon.
And of course the event which is supported by local business and organizations through sponsorship. The Georgia Transplant Foundation is focused on providing both financial, educational, and back to work assistance during a time that is often overwhelming for those children and adults waiting or undergoing a transplant. GTF is dedicated to improve the quality of life for those affected by transplantation. We hope you will join our Angels Team by sponsoring.
During our event we highlight transplant recipients who share their heartwarming transplant stories and how Georgia Transplant Foundation came to their aid during their time of need.
