Any information about the Liver living donor or the Transplant picnic?

Posted by robert34 @robert34, May 27 11:45am

I lost my letter for the Liver living donor picnic. Date, time and place, I think it said July 26th, 5-7pm somewhere at the clinic in Rochester. I have not heard anything about the transplant picnic.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

@keggebraaten , I see you posted information about picnic in April ( https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1271585/ ). Can you help @robert34 with information he is looking for.

Thanks

@robert34, are you referring to the Living Donor Recognition Event on July 26? You can email me at RSTTrxCenterEvent@mayo.edu and we can provide you with the links and all the information. The Transplant Patient picnic for Rochester patients will be held on July 27, 2025. You can also ask for details about that at that same email address. Thank you, @roch, for tagging me!

I never received anything about the transplant picnic which is normally held the last Sunday in July. My husband and I really want to attend but not sure how to let someone know.

@rettmann , Unfortunately, I live too far away to be able to attend. I live in Kentucky, and received my transplant at Mayo Rochester (liver and kidney ) 2009. Which organ did you receive? Will you be able to attend?
