Dear Parents:
We are excited to announce our 25th annual York Professional Care & Education Children’s Walk for Charity. We will be walking to support The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Proceeds generated from this event will be donated to support the highest priority needs at the hospital, SickKids is working towards building a new SickKids, advancing research and supporting patients in Canada and abroad. Our last year’s walk raised over $12,000.00.
Because of the support SickKids receives from this event and community initiatives like it, important advances have been made in child health research, new life-saving medical equipment has been purchased for their clinics and operating rooms, and the young patients continue to receive the best care that science, technology, and compassion have to offer.
York Professional Care & Education believes that the Annual Walk for Sick Kids supports our vision and mission statement as we foster learning environments that embody courtesy, respect, responsibility, confidence and compassion towards others.
We are asking you to support our efforts and assist your child in raising money by asking friends, relatives, co-workers and neighbours to sponsor your child in the walk on May 15, 2024.
Ask your child’s educator for a pledge form or to make a donation by credit card, please visit fundraising event portal:
All cheques are payable to SickKids Foundation. SickKids Foundation will issue Charitable Donation Receipts for donations $20.00 or over and will be receipted upon request.
This is a great opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of other children.
Thank you for your generosity, and for supporting SickKids’ vision: Healthier children. A better world.
Sincerely,
Erin Koury
York Professional Care & Education Coordinator, Children’s Walk for Charity
