Midwest Transplant Network is proud to partner with Freeman and Mercy Hospital for a Celebration of Life and Rose Dedication to honor organ, eye and tissue donors in the Joplin area and their families.
Dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. During the celebration, families are encouraged to participate in our sand ceremony and to honor their loved ones on a donor memorial quilt by pinning their personalized quilt square. Additionally, each family will receive a beautifully handcrafted stained-glass heart to honor their loved ones.
If you’d like to include a photo of your loved one in the video tribute, please upload the photo at the time of registration, no later than three days prior to the event.
