Well done, BC!

Today we take a moment to reflect back as we release BC’s organ donation and transplant statistics from 2025💚. 575 people received an organ transplant in 2025, that is 575 people who were gifted a second chance at life.

This is entirely thanks to the selfless decision of 146 deceased donors and 86 living donors. Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing stories, statistics, and key facts behind these numbers, all made possible because individuals and their families chose to give organ donation a chance. Their generosity, love, and hope leave a lasting impact on transplant recipients, their loved ones, and the healthcare professionals who support them every step of the way.

Have you purchased your ticket to the 10th Anniversary Gala yet?
If not, here is your reason why.

Jaxon received his heart transplant as a baby, and for years, he has enjoyed a wonderful quality of life. However, a transplant is not a cure; it is a lifelong journey.

After nearly eight years of pristine heart caths, we received devastating news this fall that Jaxon has developed Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV). This is a transplant-specific complication that currently has no cure.

Thanks to groundbreaking research and the brilliant doctors at the Stollery, we have hope. Studies funded through Big Gifts for Little Lives directly impact care for children like Jaxon. Funding research helps find ways to make transplanted hearts last as long as possible. This research gives us every reason to believe Jaxon can overcome this new challenge.

This is why supporting Big Gifts matters so deeply. Your donations and support give kids like Jaxon a fighting chance at a long, healthy future.

Attend the Gala for Big Gifts on Feb 21 at the Royal Glenora Club. Go to the link in our bio!

Every ticket purchased helps fund the research needed to protect these gifted hearts. 💚
