Each year Gift of Life Donor Program hosts Life and Legacy Celebrations in recognition of the generous organ, tissue and cornea donors from our region. The ceremony is for the families of donor heroes and the intent is to honor and remember your loved one and the decision to the give the gift of life.

Registration for the 2023 Life and Legacy Celebrations is now closed.  If you have questions or would like to be invited to the 2024 program, please contact Family Support Services at 800-366-6771 or family2@donors1.org.

In 2023, Gift of Life Donor Program will host three in-person Life and Legacy Celebrations and one virtual celebration.

During the in-person ceremony, you will have the opportunity to hear from donor families and transplant recipients from across our region who will share their personal stories. You will be presented with our Gift of Life Donor Medal, which recognizes the heroic donors who save lives.

Families who choose the virtual option will receive a donor recognition package including the Donor Medal, donor family lapel pins and a special candle so that they may participate in the ceremony from home. Those who attend an in-person ceremony will be invited to join us for light refreshments at the conclusion of the ceremony.
