"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.
