What type of donations do you accept at the door?
SickKids is grateful for all donations we receive. For safety reasons, we do not accept cash. Monthly donations offer the most flexibility, providing a reliable source of ongoing revenue. One-time donations cannot be processed at the door however the canvasser can email a link to make a secure online donation or you can donate online here. If you prefer to make a single yearly donation which renews every twelve month, that option is now available at the door.
What time of day do fundraisers canvass?
The most successful time of day for door-to-door fundraising is when people are likely to be home. Our fundraisers work from 1:00 pm to 8:30 pm, Monday to Friday and weekends during certain times of year.
