Santa Speedo Run
Since 2005, the Toronto Santa Speedo Run has been giving Yorkville a little unexpected fashion show during the holiday season. Each year in early December between 50 -100 brave runners bare it (almost) all in support of the Toys & Games Fund at SickKids. To date over $200,000 has been raised! Thank you to "Head Santa" Matt and all of the volunteers and sponsors who make this terrific event such a huge success!
ND Graphics
Since 1981, ND Graphics has grown from a small family business into Canada’s leading supplier to the sign and imaging markets. ND Graphics chose "Sick Kids" for our Corporate Fundraiser this year because we all felt that The Hospital for Sick Kids is a truly remarkable organization that touches the lives of thousands of families from across Canada and around the world each year.
Sick Kids has personally touched the lives of some of our staff and we are all very grateful for this wonderful facility full of hope and life.
