SickKids Foundation leads the fight for The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), one of the world’s foremost paediatric health-care institutions. Founded in 1972, SickKids Foundation is the largest charitable funder of child health research, learning and
care in Canada. As a national charity, SickKids Foundation also invests in national and international initiatives to benefit children in Canada and around the world. Philanthropy is a critical source of funding for SickKids. Thanks to the generosity of
the community, and as a result of a record-breaking year in fundraising, SickKids Foundation generated an unprecedented $141 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. We achieve that by not being ordinary in anything we do.
