Patient Story
SickKids kid Emily was diagnosed with Leukemia after leg started to hurt. She underwent intensive treatment now she only visits the Hospital for check-ups.
Can I only make a cash donation?
No. In addition to cash, online, or by check and appreciated stocks or real property, U.S. donors may also make planned gifts via Friends of The Hospital for Sick Children. For Bequests and Trusts, Friends must be the designated charitable beneficiary in order for the charitable remainder trust to qualify for U.S. estate tax and income tax deductions.
Why does SickKids still need donations? / Why is SickKids still asking for donations?
For any new health-care build, provincial funding formulas require that the hospital contribute at least 25% of the total project costs. For SickKids, that works out to $600 million, regardless of how much the government contributes. To reach this goal, we must rely on the generous support of donors.
Can I receive volunteer hours verification?
Absolutely! You can provide a physical or emailed form to the Volunteer Engagement Team at the end of your volunteer shift.
SickKids VS: Cancer
