Donor Family Tributes
Our donor families and friends gather each year for a special Day of Hope and Remembrance to honor loved ones who became organ and tissue donors. Attendees hear inspiring stories and view memorial presentations that celebrate the selfless individuals who gave of themselves so that others may live.
Families, Friends Honor Loved Ones at
2011 Donor
Family Tribute
More than 500 donor family members and friends attended the 2011 Donor Family Tribute held September 10 in Peoria. This year’s tribute featured two sessions—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—held on the same day. Gift of Hope and the Illinois Eye-Bank have been honoring donors and their families at A Day of Hope and Remembrance at Wildlife Prairie State Park since 1998. If you couldn’t attend the event or want to relive an important part of it, view the Memorial Slide Presentation.
