About the Founders

When Hays and Gay Town endowed the St. Elizabeth Foundation in 1988, they set out with a goal to change the stigma against adoption in the Louisiana community. Through the foundation, they established a safe system for helping birthmothers remain healthy and stable after birthing, as well as providing guidance and assistance to families seeking to adopt. In doing so, over 600 infants in Louisiana have been placed in loving homes with the help of St. Elizabeth and the numbers are growing. Hays and Gay Town have remained as active volunteers and members on the Board of Directors. In years past, they served at the foundation and frequently followed up with parents to make sure their needs were met. Hays and Gay Town still open their home annualy to serve dinner to the foundation’s Gala Planning Committee.
