The Green Ribbon

The green awareness ribbon is an international symbol of support for organ and tissue donation. Green symbolizes hope for those who are waiting for a second chance at life through transplantation; a reminder of the men, women and children who have died waiting for a life saving transplant; and a thank you to donors and their families for giving the greatest gift of all, the gift of life so that another could live on.

Trillium Gift of Life Network is Ontario's organ and tissue donation agency. Our symbol, a green ribbon with the official flower of Ontario, the trillium, symbolizes the commitment of the Ontario government to help increase the rate of organ and tissue donation in the province so that more lives can be saved and enhanced.

If you would like to show your support for organ and tissue donation by wearing a Trillium Gift of Life Network green ribbon, please contact us.
