Is it safe to canvass in the malls during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Health and safety are top priorities for both our canvassers and the public. SickKids Foundation has been closely monitoring the developments related to COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) and will adjust our fundraising activities as needed. The risk to the public is still considered low and our fundraisers continue to follow Public Health Ontario recommendations:
- Wash hands often and well
- Exercise good hand hygiene (limit hand shaking, use sanitizing wipes or lotions to clean self and any shared equipment, avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth)
- Use Lysol wipes to disinfect pitch cards and tablets
- Stay home if unwell
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.
How does recognition work?
Once you let us know that you’re leaving a gift in your will to SickKids, we’ll invite you to join the J.P. Bickell Society. You’ll be recognized on the SickKids Donor Hall of Honour in the Hospital’s main corridor, either with your name or in honour of a loved one. You can also choose to remain anonymous, while retaining the many benefits of the Society, including a subscription to our newsletter SickKids Legacies and invitations to exclusive SickKids events like the J.P. Bickell annual luncheon. If you are interested in becoming a J. P. Bickell Society member, please contact us at 416.813.8271 or legacy.giving@sickkidsfoundation.com.

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.
