In 2025, Lost & Found Grief Center celebrates 25 years of providing help, hope, and healing to grieving families throughout the Ozarks. Since our founding in 2000, we have walked alongside thousands of children, adults, and families during some of life’s most difficult moments.
To commemorate this milestone, we are proud to announce the upcoming installation of our Legacy of Hope Wall—a permanent exhibit that will debut in fall 2025. This custom-designed installation will be placed outside our main entrance. It features heart-shaped placards and spaces engraved with the names of individuals and organizations who are helping shape the next 25 years of our mission.
The Legacy Wall is currently in development, with early commitments from 11 generous donors totaling more than $120,000, including our presenting sponsor Mercy Health Systems. We are especially honored to include the 2025 class of Springfield Business Journal’s Men of the Year, who secured a heart in recognition of their collective support.
We are deeply grateful to Pinnacle Sign Group for their partnership in designing and installing this meaningful tribute.
We look forward to celebrating the partners who have made this possible when we install the 2025 Legacy of Hope Wall this fall.
If you or your organization would like to be a part of the 2025 Legacy of Hope Wall, please contact Jamie Fields, Director of Development, at (417) 865-9998 or email: jfields@lostandfoundozarks.com.
Together, we can ensure that no one grieves alone—now and for generations to come.
