“As a board member of LJPF, it’s incredibly meaningful to be part of an organization so deeply committed to impact and inclusion. Seeing our community come together each year at our annual golf tournament is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we rally around our community members and friends. Our generous supporters help us continue to honor LJ’s legacy and make a real difference for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.”

Louis
John's Story

On May 22, 2018, we delivered our beloved son Louis John “LJ” Piniella at 34 weeks. Sadly, he never had the chance to take his first breath. LJ was diagnosed early in our pregnancy with Down Syndrome, and suffered from a heart defect that ultimately caused his passing.
