The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation, affectionately known as SickKids Foundation, is the largest non-governmental granting agency in child health in Canada. Established in 1972, SickKids Foundation has granted over $300 million to The Hospital for Sick Children and over $60 million to researchers across the country. Through its National Grants Program, SickKids Foundation is the only granting program with a national, multi-year initiative to study two understudied but important areas of child health: the role of complementary and alternative health care and child health, and to study home care and children and youth. We have invested our community’s contributions in outstanding patient care, research and education. We believe there is no one else in Canada as dedicated as we are to eliminating the gap between what is happening in child health research, education and training, and what should be happening.

Cassie and Friends was established in 2007 in Vancouver by parents, David Porte and Debbie Setton, along with five other families all affected by Juvenile Arthritis. Cassie was 18-months old when she woke up one morning unable to walk. Soon after, she was diagnosed with Juvenile Idopathic Arthritis. Dealing with the devastating news of his daughter's condition, David was inspired to raise funds for juvenile arthritis by running in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge 5km. He raised over $25,000 in the first year. Since then, through the genrousity of many individuals, families and corporations, Cassie and Friends has raised over $450,000 in support of world-leading research, educational programming, child and family support services and much-needed medical equipment for Juvenile Arthritis sufferers. We look forward to growing our support of the kids and families who suffer daily from this painful disease - and ultimately improving their quality of life and expected outcomes.
