  • On Oct. 7-11, the Biedeharn Museum & Gardens will be hosting our 7th annual Scarecrows in the Garden. This fun and festive tradition invites local 501(c)(3) non-profits to create family-friendly scarecrow displays for a chance to win cash prizes that support your organization’s mission.
    We will have our Judges' awards held on Opening Night, Oct. 7th. The displays will be left up through the rest of the week (Oct. 8th - 10th) for guests to the Museum/Gardens to vote on. On Oct. 11th, we will announce the 1st-3rd place winners for People's Choice, and we will close out this event with an outdoor movie (The Wizard of Oz).

About LOPA: Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) was established on April 1, 1988 as an independent, not-for-profit organ and tissue recovery agency. LOPA is federally designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid as the organ procurement organization (OPO) responsible for servicing the state of Louisiana. LOPA is tasked with two main objectives; housing and maintaining the Louisiana Donor Registry, and recovering organs and tissue for transplant. LOPA partners with professionals throughout the state, including eye banks and all hospitals within Louisiana, to accomplish its life saving and enhancing goals. Education is key to this process, and our staff offers a variety of educational opportunities for the public and professionals within our state.
