Donor Family Recognition Ceremony

Once a year SightLife and the Northwest Tissue Center invite donor families to come together in remembrance of their loved one who gave the gift of a lifetime through organ, tissue, and cornea donation.

This event often includes donor family and recipient guest speakers sharing their stories, memorial tables dedicated to donors, a candle lighting ceremony, memorial books on display, donor remembrance slide show, and local and national donor quilts on display followed with refreshments.
