- Living donors and donor family members of deceased donors are recognized during national ceremonies by the National Kidney Foundation and the Department of Transplantation for the ‘gift of life’ each has given.
- Family members, friends and healthcare professionals fill the stands and sidelines with cheers of encouragement and applause of appreciation.
