sgbanner-vday Boxes of chocolates, red roses, pink-hearted sweets and plush stuffed animals are synonymous with Valentine’s Day.

Instead of the traditional pink and red hued gifts, SickKids Foundation is giving you a chance to think outside of the box and invest in a meaningful token for your loved ones. SickKids Get Better Gifts offers unique and thoughtful gift ideas that will truly warm the heart this Valentine’s Day.

Purchase a stethoscope ($120) to ensure a child’s heartbeat won’t go unheard. Ease a parent’s mind by keeping them connected with their child’s heart through a heart monitor ($40). Give a child the chance to make his or her parents, friends, doctor or nurses a Valentine’s Day card with art supplies ($20). Whatever you choose, know that you are making a significant difference for The Hospital for Sick Children and the patients within it.

With your gift, you will have the opportunity to send a personalized message to that special someone with a traditional card or e-card.

If you would simply like to send a SickKids Valentine’s Day e-card or traditional card, we offer those too. Click here to select one of our brand new designs.

Much love to you and yours this Valentine’s Day.

017P0605PM This Thanksgiving as you watch the autumn leaves change, bake pumpkin pies and spend time with loved ones, remember to reflect and give thanks for your health and to remember those who aren’t so lucky.

At SickKids, Thanksgiving is also a time when patients and their families are thankful that a world-leader in children’s health care is right here in their own backyard. They are also thankful that their child is receiving the best possible care and they are extremely grateful for the support from the community that makes SickKids such an extraordinary place.

It is donations that help save and change the lives of ill and injured children and will help ensure that next Thanksgiving more children are spending less time in the hospital and more time gobbling down their turkey dinner with family.

Believe in Thanks. Believe in SickKids. Have a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.
