The donor statue, called the "The Gift," sitting above a pedestal that reads: Honoring Our Silent Teachers Whose Bodies Tell A Story That Words Cannot

Your loved one made a profound contribution to medical education, and this gift will have an enduring impact as those who receive training at UC Irvine School of Medicine go on to apply what they learn in service to others.

If you would like to pay tribute to your friend or family member, the Willed Body Program offers Engraved Memorial Bricks and Statue Pedestal Engraving opportunities as a lasting memory. These remembrances reside in a peaceful place at the School of Medicine in honor of your special person, adorning areas at the Willed Body Program Memorial Garden.

 

Statue Pedestal Engraving - $1,000 | Engraved Memorial Brick - $500

Tan bricks line the walkway surrounding the Donor Statue, called "The Gift," as a tribute to donors. Please contact our program to inquire about purchasing a memorial brick or pedestal engraving.
