Please help Team Louisiana get to the 2022 Transplant Games. Your gift will help sponsor the recipients, donors and their families from Louisiana to attend, participate and cheer on their loved ones in San Diego from July 29 - August 3, 2022.
Thanks to a special gift from The Wendy Marx Fund for Organ Donor Awareness, your donation will be doubled! The Wendy Marx Fund for Organ Donor Awareness will match up to $10,000.00 for gifts received by May 15, 2022.
During this truly unique and inspiring week, 42 state teams and several international teams made up of transplant recipients and living donors, compete in twenty athletic and recreational competitions. In addition to these medaling events, there are over sixty special events held throughout the Games meant for all attendees to enjoy. These events not only serve as an opportunity for donor families, recipients, living donors and professionals to engage with one another and share stories, but it celebrates donors who gave the selfless gift of life. At the Transplant Games, recipients are given the chance to show the world that having a transplant is a second chance at a full, productive, and inspiring life as well as display to their donor families what their gift means to them.

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.
