Amazing progress has been made in improving outcomes for many childhood illnesses. But when it comes to taking on the enormous health challenges our children face, there is so much more to do.
Debilitating diseases are on the rise. Many illnesses continue to be suffered in excruciating silence. And too many kids wait for treatments that don’t yet exist.

Through the power of philanthropy, we know we can change this. Your generosity will support the three critical areas that are needed to advance the quest to conquer childhood illnesses at BC Children’s Hospital:

Our collective future
In describing his work to help transform the lives of kids with cancer, one leading researcher at BC Children’s once shared this powerful statement: kids are only 25 per cent of our current population, but they are 100 per cent of our future.
This drive to create the brightest future possible is what inspires every single decision that’s made at BC Children’s—from treatments for children, to the programs designed to comfort and engage them, to the experts who consider how the care they receive will shape the rest of their lives. And it’s also why your support is enabling experts to challenge the status quo by investing in the research, technologies and kid-focused care that are needed to create a better future, for our kids and for all of us.
