“Music connects us in powerful ways,” said David Foster, Founder and Chairman, David Foster Foundation. “Play it Forward is about using that connection to spark generosity and hope – and to highlight how something as simple as becoming a registered organ donor can have a life-saving impact.”

The campaign kicks off with a special Canada playlist, featuring some of David Foster’s most iconic songs with celebrated Canadian artists including Michael Bublé, Céline Dion, and more.

This exciting campaigns marks another important step for The David Foster Foundation in connecting with a wider audience and raising awareness for its life-changing work.

This need is underscored by the fact that 90% of Canadians say they support organ donation, but only 32% have actually registered their decision.
