A Message From Team Dylan Taylor

Team Dylan Taylor exists because of one tiny, mighty soul — our son, Dylan Paul Taylor. At just 6 months old in 1997, Dylan became an organ donor and changed lives forever. His story has given hope and comfort to countless people facing grief and hardship, and his spirit lives on in every life he touched. Now we are asking YOU to be part of something bigger than yourself. Join us at the 13th Annual LOPA Trail Run for Life on November 8, 2026 and help us celebrate the brave donors, grateful recipients, and the families who know firsthand the power of the gift of life. Every step you take that day is a step toward honoring their courage and keeping their stories alive. Walk with us. Run with us. Honor with us. Because together, we are stronger — and Dylan's legacy deserves to be celebrated by as many hearts as possible. Join Team Dylan Taylor. Let's make him proud. 💙

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.
