Saturday the 19th, at 5:45 pm,  the doors will NOT swing wide open, dinner will NOT be served, and there will be no charge to get in! It's the Gift of Life Transplant House's 2020 Gala...which they've called, "Thank You For NOT Coming!"

What's it all about? Let me explain it this way...

You travel hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles, to find out Mayo Clinic says you need an organ transplant. A plan of action, great. You're going to be OK! But then you think about logistics of the whole thing. Your anxiety peaks because you have a million things to think about, and you don't even have a place to sleep.

Luckily, darn near everyone at Mayo has been telling you to check with the Gift of Life Transplant House. An entire community to be a part of and to feel support from as you begin your return to health. You relax and the process begins.

That story is told day after day in Rochester, Minnesota. And day after day, even during the pandemic, the Gift of Life Transplant House is open to be the family and the love away from home for hundreds of patients a year. That's what its about...and it's about to happen!
