Logan received his Eagle Scout 3/15/23. His Eagle Scout project was Donate Life, Gift of Life in honor of his Grandfather, John Bugdonovitch. Logan set up an informational booth at the Mttop Rotary farmers market to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation. His Grandfather was a heart transplant recipient and without that gift of life, he never would have survived to meet Logan. Logan is very passionate about his project and it was a great success!!
