BRITISH COLUMBIA'S CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Charitable Giving

Curator's Note

We all know that giving helps others but studies have shown that it can actually boost your physical and mental health. In fact, studies have reported lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels and a surge in our feel-good neurotransmitters when we give of ourselves to others. I guess there’s some scientific proof behind “the joy of giving."

BRITISH COLUMBIA'S CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Details

BC Children’s Hospital is the province’s only full-service, pediatric acute-care hospital and serves the one million children living in BC and the Yukon. All children who are seriously ill or injured are referred to Children’s Hospital and are either treated at the Hospital in Vancouver or, in consultation with Children’s specialists, in their home community.

 

Last year, more than 78,000 children were treated at Children’s Hospital. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation received donations from more than 120,000 people last year and had consolidated revenues of $56.4 million. Funds raised by the Foundation are used to support BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and the Child & Family Research Institute. Since 1982, BC Children's Hospital Foundation has worked with children, families, caregivers and hundreds of thousands of British Columbians to give Children’s Hospital, and the Child & Family Research Institute the resources they need to excel.

 

Goals
To improve the health and the lives of the young people who enter BC Children's Hospital every day.
