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 kids 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 kids’ health in Western Ontario!
