BC Place glows green for Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness
April 21st, 2020
BC Place will glow green in support of National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week on Tuesday, April 21st.
Approximately 4,500 Canadians are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant and many more are waiting for tissue transplants. The sad reality is that on average, 250 Canadians die each year waiting.
National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week is an annual campaign that runs from April 19th to April 25th, 2020. The initiative is dedicated to sharing stories and raising awareness about the benefits of organ donation and the life-saving effects of transplantation.
