2026 Donor Family Tribute
An annual program to honor and remember the lives of those who gave
Join Us
The 2026 Donor Family Tribute will be held in the fall, with details coming soon. Invitations will be mailed this summer.
HonorBridge proudly honors the generous and inspiring individuals who have said ‘yes’ to donation. Each year, thousands of men, women, and children across the country receive a renewed opportunity for life and good health because someone made the decision to donate. We honor, celebrate, and recognize donor families and their loved ones for their enormous faith, generosity, and courage during our annual Donor Family Tribute video.
Donor Tribute Slideshow
We invite each family to honor their loved one by submitting up to three photos for the Donor Tribute Slideshow. This meaningful tribute celebrates those who have given the precious gift of life to others. Additionally we welcome you to share descriptive words about your loved one, helping us all to get to know them better. Examples include: father, grandmother, Tar Heel fan, NASCAR enthusiast, veteran, and more.
The deadline for submitting photos for the Donor Family Tribute will be announced soon.
Donor Quilts
Donor families are invited to decorate a fabric square in honor of their loved one. Your quilt square, combined with those of other donor families, will be assembled to make a donor family quilt. These quilts are displayed at memorial services, special events, and various educational programs. The 2026 Donor Family Tribute will present our newest quilt, made up of quilt squares provided prior to April. The quilt squares that are received now through the end of this year will be included in our 2027 quilts and will be presented at the 2027 Donor Family Tribute.
