On Saturday, March 29, 2025, thousands gathered at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City for the TRIO Remember and Rejoice Ceremony—an annual tribute to honor and celebrate the generosity of organ donors and their families. This deeply moving event brought together recipients, donor families, healthcare professionals, and advocates to reflect on the life-changing impact of organ donation.
The ceremony featured powerful testimonials from a diverse group of speakers, including the mother of an infant organ donor, a double lung transplant recipient, and a two-time kidney recipient. Their stories of courage, gratitude, and resilience served as a testament to the profound impact of the gift of life.
Candles were lit as a symbol of hope and remembrance, and the names of organ donors were read aloud in a moment of gratitude.
The Remember and Rejoice Ceremony continues to be a meaningful tradition, inspiring awareness for organ donation. For more information about TRIO and their incredible work, please visit https://www.trioweb.org/.
