Donor Spotlight | Week of July 21
Scrubs
An air of sophistication and elegance filled the evening as local philanthropists, corporate partners, fashionistas and SickKids supporters gathered at Evergreen Brick Works for Holt Renfrew presents Scrubs in the City Paris in collaboration with Mantella Corporation on June 5, 2025.
1,470 guests stepped into a dazzling Parisian dream, coming together for an unforgettable evening filled with electrifying performances, exquisite cuisine, and plenty of joie de vivre. We are proud to share that Scrubs Paris raised an incredible $1.5 million in support of essential equipment upgrades at SickKids.
These upgrades will help our neurophysiology and neurodiagnostic labs keep pace with technological innovation in their treatment of conditions like tumours, epilepsy and stroke. This means faster diagnoses, newer treatments, more precise surgeries — and ultimately brighter futures for children.
Thank you to our incredibly generous volunteer committee, sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers who joined us to make it a successful evening.
To date, Scrubs supporters have helped contribute over $12 million to various priority areas of the hospital.
