We hold this ceremony every year around Christmas time and it truly is just an opportunity for us to say thank you and honor all of those individuals in the past and currently going through the donation journey who has been an organ donor in the past or maybe just someone that they love has been touched by transplantation or donation. It's so important that we honor and celebrate those life-saving organ donors and truly just raise awareness about the mission and the true need of it. The Christmas tree on display is fully decorated in gold ornaments to symbolize the heart of gold donors are said to have. Guest speakers and live music will also be featured at the ceremony.
