Giving to the UPMC Mercy Burn Center

The Charles E. Copeland Burn Fund

Your gift will support UPMC Mercy Burn Center’s mission to be a transforming and healing presence within the community through the delivery of cutting-edge burn care. The Charles E. Copeland Burn Fund ensures that we can continue to:

  • Undertake pioneering research to improve patient care, including exciting advancements in skin regeneration.
  • Support the Center’s ongoing efforts to educate the community on burn prevention.
  • Never turn away a patient in need, regardless of financial resources.

Making a gift to the Copeland Burn Fund also is a thoughtful way to honor the accomplishments or memory of a relative, friend, or colleague.

About Dr. Copeland

Throughout his medical career at UPMC Mercy, Charles E. Copeland, MD, was a man of many firsts. A true visionary, he recognized the tremendous need in Pittsburgh — then a booming industrial center — for outstanding trauma and burn care. In 1967, he established Mercy Hospital’s Burn Center and was a founding member of the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation.

In 1987, Dr. Copeland established the burn fund to support patients and their families and to advance the mission of the Mercy Burn Center. Named in his honor, the great work of the Charles E. Copeland Burn Fund is maintained through the generosity of individual donors and a variety of community fundraising events.

Making a Gift

There are several ways you can contribute to the UPMC Mercy Copeland Burn Fund. You will receive a written acknowledgement and receipt of your gift. Contributions are tax deductible, as provided by law.

Donating by check

Make your check payable to the UPMC Mercy Copeland Burn Fund and mail to:

UPMC Mercy Development Office
Building B, Suite 9508
1400 Locust St.
Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Donating online with a credit card

You can make your gift online by designating the UPMC Mercy Copeland Burn Fund on our donation form, using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card.

Gift Pledges and Planned Giving

Some donors prefer to make a gift pledge, which can be paid in installments over months or years.

Planned giving involves charitable gifts made as a part of a person’s financial or estate planning. These gifts can provide tax benefits and income streams; they are executed either over an extended time or at some point in the future.

Gift plans can be funded with stocks and securities, artwork, real estate, life insurance policies, or other assets.

Contact Andy Ziegler, Director of Development at zieglerra@upmc.edu or 412-398-3354 for more information.

Honorary and Memorial Gifts

This gift can be a thoughtful way to recognize the accomplishments or memory of a relative, friend, or colleague.

Contact Andy Ziegler, Director of Development at zieglerra@upmc.edu or 412-398-3354 for more information.

Matching Gifts

Many companies match charitable donations made by employees or employees’ spouses. This support can double or even triple the value of your gift.

Please check with your human resources department to see if your company has such a program, and how you can get a matching gift form.


Tax Deductions

Contributions are tax deductible, as provided by law.

The official registration and financial information may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling, toll-free within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.
