Home - National Minority Organ Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP) Gala

A joyful gathering to honor National MOTTEP’s legacy, celebrate community impact, and inspire the next chapter of hope.

For 35 years, National MOTTEP has been helping communities of color learn, talk, and take action around organ and tissue donation, transplantation, and prevention-focused health awareness. This milestone gala is more than an evening out, it is a joyful celebration of lives saved, families impacted, and a movement that continues to inspire hope across the nation.

Guests will gather to honor National MOTTEP’s legacy, celebrate the 30th Anniversary of National Minority Donor Awareness Day, and recognize Dr. Clive Callender’s extraordinary 90th birthday. Through powerful stories, meaningful recognition, dinner, music, and community connection, the evening will shine a spotlight on the people and partnerships that make this mission possible. Together, we will celebrate the gift of life, honor the champions who paved the way, and help fuel National MOTTEP’s next chapter of education, advocacy, and impact.

Your support makes a direct impact, whether you are joining us in person or celebrating from afar. Every donation helps National MOTTEP continue its life-saving work in education, advocacy, and community outreach around organ and tissue donation.

As we celebrate 35 years of National MOTTEP, 30 years of National Minority Donor Awareness Day, and Dr. Clive Callender’s 90th birthday, we invite you to help power the next chapter of this mission. Your gift brings us closer to our goal and supports the continued work of saving lives, honoring donor heroes, and advancing health equity in communities nationwide.
