Making a difference with the #TeddyBearAdventure
This year’s #TeddyBearAdventure was the most successful yet! Launched at CIBC in 2020, the 2022 campaign expanded with the participation of community members and employee groups from several organizations. Supporters engaged in their own unique adventures –– like team pizza lunches, campfires, hikes and more –– while raising funds for the Foundation. Thanks to all who got involved!

Get moving for kids in care at our upcoming events
This October, make a difference while moving and having fun! On October 16, join us at the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon to run or walk for kids in care. Throughout the month, you can also rally your friends and family to donate by participating in our Stand Up For Kids Family Challenge!
