Overview Our vision is simple: Healthier Children. A Better World. We believe fighting for the health and wellbeing of children is one of the most powerful ways to improve society. Right now, quantum advancements in scientific knowledge and technology present an unprecedented opportunity for SickKids. To be ready for the next round, we need to update our infrastructure so we can unleash the full potential of SickKids expert team. We need to expand our reach, to extend our excellent standards of care to more children around the world. We need to elevate our research - it’s our best weapon in the fight against disease and congenital childhood conditions. And we must enrich the compassionate care we believe fosters the lifelong wellbeing of children and their families. It’s a massive challenge, but one that has to be met. So we’re actively inspiring communities and individuals to take up the fight by investing in our Hospital, its mission, and the health and scientific advances your gifts make possible. Our commitment to you: Staff and volunteers experience an engaging culture built on mutual respect, collaboration and a drive for excellence. We welcome and embrace individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and cultures. SickKids Foundation is committed to fostering an inclusive, accessible environment, where all individuals feel valued, respected and supported.
