Make a Local Impact with Sunnybrook Foundation
Since 2010, Sunnybrook Foundation has been visiting neighborhoods across southern Ontario, inspiring people to become monthly supporters of our life-saving work.
Why Door-to-Door Fundraising?
Our door-to-door program gives us the unique opportunity to meet with community members face-to-face, sharing stories of the vital work that donations help make possible. These personal conversations allow us to connect with people on a deeper level and explain how monthly support enables us to save lives and provide compassionate care to patients and their families in their toughest moments.
Your Monthly Donation Makes a Difference.
By becoming a monthly donor, you’ll be helping us sustain vital health care programs. Regular contributions provide the steady support we need to continue advancing life-saving research and patient care.
As a thank you, monthly donors receive:
- Your Health Matters: A monthly e-newsletter filled with inspiring stories and expert advice on nutrition, wellness, exercise & more.
- Sunnybrook Newsletter: Two editions each year with updates on how your generosity is transforming patient care.
- Tax Convenience: A single, consolidated tax receipt each February for your contributions over the year.
By supporting Sunnybrook with a monthly donation, you join a community committed to shaping/inventing the future of health care.
