SickKids Foundation
Since 1972, SickKids Foundation has been motivating communities to make a difference by investing in the research and advancement of child health and well-being in the Canadian community. Our event will contribute 50% of all proceeds to the SickKids Foundation.
The money will go towards improving Marnie’s Lounge at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto to help facilitate fun, exciting activities that build self-esteem, aid with coping and healing strategies and minimize any fear, loneliness or boredom that can accompany an illness. Our support will help to provide patients with a cheery place to congregate, meet new friends and make positive memories.
