Join us for LifeGift’s brand-new HopeFest—a special, public event being held on Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 10 am to 2 pm at Texas Tech University’s Recreational Softball Fields, celebrating the gift of life and honoring organ, eye and tissue donors, recipients, donor families and our hospital partners in LifeGift’s West region.
