Can I volunteer with my friends and family?
Definitely! The more the merrier. We require all volunteers to complete the volunteer application form. If you’d like to volunteer together for the same event or activity, please be sure to let us know, so we can place you as a group. We will try our best to accommodate these requests, but can’t always guarantee this due to limited availability.

What is a gift confirmation receipt and how does it differ from a regular tax receipt?
A “receipt” refers to any document issued by the Foundation to confirm that it received something from another party. A “charitable receipt” is for income tax purposes and allows donors to reduce their income tax. “Gift confirmations” are issued by the Foundation to donors to confirm a gift where a “charitable receipt” is not warranted.
What protocols are in place to ensure both donors and fundraisers are kept safe?
Health and safety for all is the top priority and we want to ensure our community is protected.
Any time our SickKids fundraisers speak to the public, they are closely following public health guidelines which means staying 2 metres away, wearing a mask, using hand sanitizers frequently and not sharing any materials or devices during the sign up process.
The fundraisers have been trained on how to engage with the public safely while speaking to the importance of raising much needed funds to build a new, safer SickKids.
Is it safe to give my banking information or credit card over the phone?
It is completely safe to provide information over the phone. Our agents follow PCI-compliant procedures to ensure your information remains confidential and safe.
