"GIFT OF LIFE" DONOR MEMORIAL AT KENTUCKY STATE CAPITOL
The Donor Memorial was created to honor donors and their
generous "Gift of Life" to others. The Memorial serves as a tribute
to all who have helped others through donation and transplantation.
The Donor Memorial was dedicated in Spring 2009, and is located on
the grounds of the Capitol Monument Park, directly adjacent to the
State Capitol in Frankfort, Kentucky.
The Donor Memorial encompasses the bronze "Gift of Life" donor
medal, designed by the Gift of Life Donor Program in Philadelphia.
The medal depicts the many gifts that one person is able to give to
others through donation. The medal is mounted on a 7 foot granite
monolith, with an inscription describing those touched by the
generosity of every donor. Two granite benches are on either side
of the memorial, providing a place for reflection for donor
families and others.
The Donor Memorial was dedicated to donors and their families by
the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates and the Kentucky Circuit Court
Clerks Trust For Life. Donor families and friends, as well as
visitors to the state capital, can visit the memorial at any time,
and be reminded of the precious "Gift of Life" and the ability to
help others through donation.
