YMO Celebration Dinner
Join YMO – Your Kidney, My Kidney, Our Kidney for our annual Celebration Dinner, an elegant semi-formal, sit-down evening where we come together to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished as a community.
This special night is about more than just dinner—it’s a time to have fun, reflect on our journey, hear inspiring stories, and honor the incredible individuals, partners, and supporters who have helped us make a difference in the lives of kidney patients and their families.
Enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring live music, dancing, and a beautifully curated dinner experience. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in our silent auction and raffle baskets, all benefiting YMO’s programs and direct support for kidney patients.
We are honored to welcome a special guest kidney doctor, who will share important updates and insights about kidney disease, along with valuable information for patients, families, and our community.
Throughout the evening, you will hear powerful and inspiring stories from kidney patients and their families—including success stories that remind us of the hope, strength, and life-changing impact of support and organ donation.
Dress to impress, bring your friends and loved ones, and be part of a night filled with purpose, connection, and celebration.
Together, we continue to bring hope, healing, and community to those who need it most.
