Why raise funds for SickKids?
SickKids is a world leader in children's health research and care. We inspire our communities to invest in medical and scientific advances to help us improve the lives of children and their families in Toronto, Canada and around the world.
Without the help of our community we would not be able to provide the money necessary to remain one of the top children's hospitals in the world. We believe every child deserves to be healthy - and SickKids is the engine for making this happen.
