Celebration of life quilt

A unique way to remember and celebrate your loved one's life and legacy is through submitting a quilt square to be presented on a CDT Celebration of Life Quilt. The quilts are utilized in community education activities all throughout the Northeast. Over the past 15 years, each patch has surely inspired thousands to register as a donor and give the gift of life. To request a brochure with additional information, please click below.
