"Trees of Life " is a statewide initiative sponsored by the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency. The goal of the program is to promote donor awareness and the lifesaving benefits of organ and tissue transplantation through tree plantings and commemorative ceremonies. When planting a "Tree of Life", a ceremony is held to celebrate the renewal of health and life given to transplant recipients while honoring donor families who gave at their time of great loss. This centers around the beauty of the tree planting. On a local level, the event generates a great deal of interest and publicity. Click here for information on "Trees of Life" locations. |
