Bringing Brighter Days

Message from the Chief Executive Office

Spring is such a great season, I love when the warmer months start happening when people are outside adventuring, exploring the beautiful outdoors, and creating memories. Spring brings new light and life to everything around us, and I am so grateful that I get to enjoy and watch spring welcome in the new life of the blossoms and incredible array of coloured flowers. The days are longer, and the sun is brighter which makes you want to be outside and appreciate enjoying all of these seasonal changes.

However, the sad reality is, we have so many families in the darkest moments of their lives as their child waits for a life-saving organ transplant. That is why the David Foster Foundation works so hard to support families through these difficult and dark times in hopes that they will also get to enjoy those beautiful bright spring days.

The heroic and selfless act people take by registering with the intent to become an organ donor is the exact reason the families we support get to enjoy the seasons change when their child has finally received the transplant they desperately need. Without people like YOU and people who register their intent to one day become an organ donor, our transplant families wouldn’t have the hope that they have today.

As you enjoy the little things and watch the seasons change, are desperately waiting for that same opportunity. I am incredibly grateful to all of our donors who have and continue to support my Foundation and the families we assist.

We truly could not do what we do without the generous care of our donors, sponsors, and supporters who have been with us and continue to believe in what we do year after year.

Founder and Chairman David Foster Foundation

I encourage you to speak with your loved ones and register to become an organ donor. You never know, one day that someone waiting for an organ could be you… how great would it be if that simple act of registering could save someone’s life.

With sincere gratitude,
