We were honored to be part of Ochsner Transplant Institute’s Holiday Party with transplant recipients, living donors & their families! We enjoyed working the Team Louisiana - Transplant Games of America table to help sell shirts to fund their trip to the TGA. Sadly, we only captured one picture but it was of two of our sweet volunteers!
We are grateful for our Loyal Supporters, Donor Families, Transplant Recipients & Registered Donors!
This National Caregivers Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible caregivers who selflessly dedicate their time, energy & compassion to care for loved ones. ❤ Your strength, resilience, and kindness make a profound difference every single day.![]()

For the past 25 years, the founding member of the Grateful Dead made a nightly speech about a topic that helped him stay performing into his 80s. It was not a song, exactly, but a brief monologue from Lesh urging everyone in the audience to declare themselves organ donors. The subject was personal to him: In 1998, at the age of 58 and suffering from chronic hepatitis C, he received a liver transplant.![]()
“I’m only alive today,” he said before a 2015 concert featuring the three other original living members of the Grateful Dead, “because a man named Cody decided he wanted to be an organ donor. And he did it in the simplest way possible: He turned to someone who loved him and he loved, and said, ‘Hey, if anything happens to me, I’d like to be an organ donor.’”![]()
As he told the music magazine Relix in 2002, “If you need an organ, or someone you love needed an organ and one was available, would you accept it? Of course, you would. Well, fair is fair. If you’re willing to accept it, then you should be willing to be a donor, as well.”
