A Message From Opelousas Dream Team

Our team is coming together again to take part in the Trail Run for Life 5K/10K and Fun Run benefiting the LOPA Foundation. All money raised helps LOPA’s core purpose, Making Life Happen. Opelousas Dream Team wants to honor our heroes Christopher Sharpe, Sarah Jarrell, and Austin Cochran who gave the gift of life! We stand proudly beside our donation recipients Dr. Gary Porubsky who has received corneal transplants, Liam Williamson who has received a liver transplant and Mark Nelson who is living out the legacy of Christopher Sharpe with every beat of his new heart. In support of Becca Vidrine and Eve Sonnier, we rally together as they currently await bilateral lung transplants.

In Support of LOPA Foundation

About the LOPA Foundation: With a core purpose of Working for Hope, Working in Honor and Working to Heal, the LOPA Foundation solicits and receives donations to support LOPA’s efforts to educate and celebrate the everlasting gift of organ and tissue donation.  Gifts made to the LOPA Foundation help increase LOPA’s capacity and honor the thousands of Louisianians impacted by donation each year. The LOPA Foundation has been designated as a 501(c)3 charitable and tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service and is treated by the IRS as a supporting foundation to LOPA.

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. 


LOPA's Core Purpose is MAKING LIFE HAPPEN.
