Donate funds to support a holiday program
Sponsor a Family or buy a Get Better Gift
Spending the holidays at the hospital is often the reality for SickKids families - but gifts like yours can help make a difficult time a little easier. No matter how you give back, you'll help spread holiday joy and support SickKids families when they need it most. Together with our community, we can help bring the magic of the holidays to the many patients and families at the hospital this holiday season.
Donate funds to the Toy and Game Fund
The SickKids Foundation Toy and Game Fund enables our Child Life team to purchase toys that help healing throughout the year. These toys and games are used primarily for the purposes of recreation and therapeutic play and include art and craft supplies, toys, games, play equipment and diversional activities to be used by Child Life staff in patient care programs and our playrooms. To ensure your gift is properly directed, please include "Toy and Game Fund" in the Additional Comments field of the donation page. A tax receipt will be issued by SickKids Foundation.
Provide gifts that give twice from the 5Fifty5 Shop online store
Customers can purchase gifts for their loved ones, while also buying beneficial toy items to support patients and families at SickKids from the 5fifty5 Shop Patient Wish List. Proceeds from every single purchase at the 5Fifty5 Shop online store – owned and operated by the Women's Auxiliary Volunteers (WAV) – help fund programs that have a direct impact on the patients and families at SickKids.
Donate funds through the Patient Amenities Fund
The Patient Amenities Fund is a source of assistance for families who have limited financial resources and whose child is receiving care at SickKids. For qualifying families, this fund can assist with expenses not covered or only partially covered by public health insurance and community resources. These include travel, food, accommodation, medication and medical equipment. To ensure your gift is properly directed, please include "Patient Amenities Fund" in the Additional Comments field of the donation page. A tax receipt will be issued by SickKids Foundation.
