Logan Boulet, a 21-year old hockey player, did not survive the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash that killed 16 people in 2018. Logan registered as an organ donor just weeks before the accident and had spoken to his father about his wishes a year before. Logan was able to save or help improve six people's lives through his organ donation.

As news spread of Logan's selfless act, thousands across the country and world were inspired to register as organ donors. This became known as the "Logan Boulet Effect". To mark the day Logan Boulet became an organ donor, the Boulet family launched Green Shirt Day on April 7 of every year.

For more information and access to resources, please visit our Green Shirt Day page.

• You could organize your whole school to participate in Green Shirt Day on April 7, start a social media challenge, create an awareness video, or host an organ donor registration drive in your school or community.
