Here is what your donations supported in September 2011

SickKids Foundation is driven by the belief that improving the health and well-being of children is one of the most powerful ways we can change our community. It is our motivation for everything we do.

Last year, the Foundation provided $57.9 million to SickKids to support priorities in care, research and learning. In September 2011 alone, $4,064,179 was granted to the Hospital to bring us one step closer to reaching our vision: Healthier Children. A Better World.
