LOPA Donor Memorial Park - Communications Center Campaign

There is perhaps no greater pain than to lose a loved one or friend, and no matter how hard we try, there are very few ways to console those who have. But sometimes, in these moments of darkness, there is light – and at LOPA, we understand how important this light can be, for both the families of those lost, and for those who receive the gift of life when an organ is donated. Today, we invite you to help ensure that their gift of life is never forgotten, as we work to build a memorial park in their name.

LOPA’s Memorial Park will be located next to our main campus In Covington, Louisiana, just north of New Orleans. Encompassing over 2 acres, it will include trails, water features and memorials. It will serve as a natural haven where families and the community can come in search of support, education and peace. 

Your donation will help lead families down a natural path of healing, lined with the beauty of life and a bit of hope for those grieving – remembering those who left us too soon. Donations to LOPA’s Memorial Park will go towards creating this sanctuary, along with a memorial wall that will contain the etched names of organ and tissue donors. All Louisiana donors are welcome to be included on the wall at the request of their family, friends and loved ones. With your help, we will be able to build a special place for all of Louisiana to physically remember the donors who changed so many lives.

With multiple levels of giving and naming opportunities available, we hope you will join us in building continued awareness of the importance of organ, tissue and eye donation, as well as remembering and celebrating those who have given so much.
