A word from the Chair of the Board and the President and CEO

Because little miracles don't happen on their own

This truth inspires us and is made possible by your support. This year, the theme "POWER to help, heal, grow" has guided our actions, transforming the lives of children, their family, and caregivers. In the face of immense need, philanthropic support continues to be  essential.

With the support of our Board of Directors and our team, we move forward with confidence toward our "Evolution 2025" goal: to maximize our impact and ensure a sustainable future. To achieve this, we are optimizing our efficiency, strengthening our outreach, and consolidating our fundraising expertise.

Together, anything is possible

  • $28.9MRaised in 2024. A new record for even greater impact!
  • 19% Increase in funds given to hospitals and organizations across the province, compared to last year.
  • 134Grants awarded in 2024 to support more than a hundred different hospitals and organizations.
