For 40 years, Make-A-Wish ®Canada has given sick children and their families the strength they need to fight critical illness by granting them a wish. We are on a quest to bring every eligible child’s wish to life because a wish is crucial to improving a child’s health outcome. Childhood critical illness can take so much from a family. All the hope, joy and wonder of childhood is replaced by fear, anxiety, and loneliness. Wishes provide relief and hope, helping the family focus on something other than pain, fear, and uncertainty. Your gift can transform lives for children and families who are facing the devastation of critical illness.

The Shine Foundation changes the lives of children and youth living with severe physical disabilities, across Canada.

Our Shine program focuses on the unique needs and aspirations of each young person we serve. These personalized experiences are customized by the child or youth and brought to life by Shine’s dedicated program team. From meeting a hero, to adapted sports equipment, we encourage them to shine bright!

Shine experiences help children and youth living with severe physical disabilities imagine new possibilities, inspire them to reach their future goals, and develop a sense of purpose that can last a lifetime. In fact, after Shine, many are inspired to turn their experience into potential careers or advancing their education. We strive to help young people discover a world where possibilities shine brighter.

Since its inception in 1987, Shine has fulfilled more than 8,800 experiences for children and youth across Canada and coordinated 64 Shine DreamLifts.

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides adult volunteer mentors to some of Canada’s most at-risk children and youth. Through the careful screening, training, and placement of mentors with their “Little Brothers” or “Little Sisters”, a long-term relationship built on trust is established. Children develop vital communication and socialization skills, and their self-esteem and self-confidence increases dramatically! The children we serve are:

48% less likely to have behavior problems in school
43% less likely to have conduct problems in school
34% less likely to allow themselves to be victimized or bullied by peers
Twice as likely to have high levels of school bonding and commitment
Twice as likely to have high academic achievement
Two and a half times more likely to participate in extra-curricular school activities

In 2013, a study performed by the Boston Consulting Group concluded that the Social Return on Investment is between $18 and $23 of clear economic benefit for every $1 invested in our traditional mentoring program!
