Donor Family Resource Guide
In the midst of your grief and sorrow, your generosity and kindness bring hope and courage to others.

The Donor Medallion
Each year the lives of thousands of men, women and children are saved or greatly improved through the miracle of transplantation. The true heroes behind this miracle are the donors, who gave the gift of life and the families who made it possible. Words cannot possibly express the gratitude of those whose lives have been enriched.
The Donor Medallion was created as a remembrance for those who help improve the lives of others through organ, eye and tissue donation, and was designed as a keepsake, or to be placed on the memorial or marker at the cemetery. The butterfly symbolizes everlasting life, because it is through the giving of oneself that the donor passes on the precious gift of life, love and hope.
On behalf of all of those who have received, we are eternally grateful. You and your loved one will always be remembered.
