Over the last 15 years, the Canadian Sunshine Kids Foundation has been a dedicated supporter of the IWK’s hematology/oncology/nephrology inpatient unit, contributing $145,000. Most recently they made a very generous donation of $25,000 in 2022.
This incredible organization was incorporated in 2004 with a mission to support children diagnosed with cancer in Canada. They have found inspiration from the following quote: "Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves." – J.M. Barrie.
The Canadian Sunshine Kids Foundation’s dedication has been remarkable, and they have made a significant impact on the lives of many young cancer patients, including those at the IWK. Their generous donations have been used to provide comfort and support to Maritime children and families who are receiving specialized cancer treatment and care.
Through their unwavering dedication, the Canadian Sunshine Kids Foundation embodies the spirit of kindness and generosity. They bring light and happiness to so many families during their most difficult times.
We are incredibly grateful to the Canadian Sunshine Kids Foundation for their continued support of the specialized cancer care Maritime children and families rely on at the IWK. Thank you for bringing sunshine into the lives of young cancer patients in our region and across the country.
