Noahstrong 2023
Event description
The NoahStrong organization emerged from the enormous impact of Noah Dugas who humbly united and inspired communities through exemplary values of kindness, compassion, determination and bravery. Noah Dugas was a healthy and talented young hockey player who proudly wore #71 on his jersey. His unexpected passing at the age of only 13 was incomprehensible. Noah’s organ donation however gave hope and health to seven individuals and their families. Because of his caring and compassionate nature, Noah lives on. Seven (7) lives saved by one (1) incredible young man. The number 71 continues to remind us of how special Noah was and how his story of selflessness and courage can inspire needed conversations and action around donation awareness and registry.
fun fact
After diligently capturing the footage for this video during the NoahStrong 2023 event, I found myself with a 1-2 hour layover to edit this video for the event dinner that same night.
