Donor Spotlight

Extra Life

Extra Life unites thousands of players around the world to host fundraising and gaming marathons in support of local Children's Miracle Network hospitals, like SickKids.

Participants play any game from anywhere, anytime, while raising money for their hospital of choice. To date, Extra Life gamers have fundraised over $3 million for SickKids!

Thanks to the help of their incredible contributions, SickKids delivers the very cutting edge of what is possible in care; break through with research that benefits patients today; and build partnerships to improve care for more children—here and around the world.

Toronto Star

In 2020, Torstar launched a transformational fundraising and educational partnership with SickKids Foundation. “Together We Can Build a New SickKids” is a three-year initiative that invites Toronto Star readers and Torstar employees to raise funds to build a new SickKids.

In support of the partnership, Toronto Star launched a new column called “Healthy Kids: Your Questions” to share important child health information from SickKids experts with the community. In our first year, we were able to secure over new 500 donors via the readership campaign and raised over $50,000 via the employee campaign.

Thank you to Torstar, Toronto Star readers and amazing employees for joining the fight for child health!
