Donor Spotlight | Week of July 15

 

UA Local  46

 

The United Association of Plumbers, Steamfitters and Welders of Local 46 Toronto, have been very proud supporters of SickKids since ground first broke in 1949. Since then, the men and women of this construction union, have been on every SickKids project! We take great pride in knowing we have been able to contribute to this wonderful, world-class facility both structurally and financially, and look forward to continuing this relationship for many years to come.

 

THANK YOU, SickKids, for being there for our children!!!

 

 

EV Fest

 

EV Fest is a community event organized by Kristofer and Lesley, Everett’s parents. The inaugural EV Fest raised over $33,000 for the Labatt Family Heart Centre.

 

Everett, the inspiration behind it all, was born with a congenital heart defect and is treated at SickKids. Congenital Heart Defects are the most common birth defect with one in 100 Canadian children born with it. More than half of these children will require open heart surgery to survive, like Everett. EV Fest was founded by Kristofer and Lesley to give back to the community and provide other families with the gift of time together.

 

We would like to celebrate and thank Kristofer, Lesley and the entire EV Fest team for their hard work, support and ongoing fundraising efforts for SickKids.
