Door-to-Door Fundraising

You may see Children’s Health Foundation canvassers in your neighbourhood, inspiring people to become monthly donors to support the best possible health care for children in our region.

Monthly donors provide critical, unrestricted funding to fund the most urgent needs at Children’s Hospital, TVCC and Children’s Health Research Institute. From funding care-enhancing programs and state-of-the-art equipment to groundbreaking research, giving monthly is the best way for individuals to provide dependable funds our partners can rely on.

Please consider joining our Caring Hearts Monthly Donor program – you will be joining the most powerful community supporting childrens’ health in Western Ontario!

Door to door fundraising is both a cost-effective and personal way to reach a new demographic of donors that we would not reach otherwise. By coming face to face with our prospective donors, our fundraisers are able to engage in rich dialogue about the impact donors have in transforming paediatric health care in our region. Our hope is that more Londoners become aware of how they can help us grow and sustain our mission to provide the best possible care and most possible hope for our children.

In addition to the blue vests adorned with the Children’s Health Foundation logo, all Children’s Health Foundation fundraisers have identification badges and nametags attached to a blue Children’s Health Foundation lanyard.
