Taking Capes for Kids to new heights
It’s not every day that clients and families at Holland Bloorview see superheroes outside their window.
But with help from Atwill-Morin, this year’s Capes for Kids week kicked off with a pow!
On a mission to bring smiles and laughter to inpatient families, three caped superheroes from Atwill-Morin rappelled down the exterior of the hospital. These superheroes generously donated their time to surprise kids and families, who caught the action right outside the windows of our inpatient units.
“Atwill-Morin is about building, restoring, and solidifying; we are proud to bring smiles to the faces, and hope to the spirits, of some of the many children and youth with disabilities who are realizing a world full of possibility at Canada’s largest pediatric rehabilitation hospital,” said CEO Matthew Atwill-Morin.
The Capes for Kids campaign, which has raised more than $6.5 million to date, will help fund some of the hospital’s highest-priority needs, cutting-edge research, therapeutic clowns and music and arts programming.
“The Atwill-Morin team took the Capes for Kids fundraising campaign to new heights this year, bringing surprise and delight to many of the hospital’s inpatients, and their families,” said Sandra Hawken, President and CEO of the Holland Bloorview Foundation. “We’re so grateful to the entire Atwill-Morin team for helping us to raise awareness of this important campaign and the importance of disability inclusion.”
Thank you to Atwill-Morin for bringing joy to our kids during Capes for Kids week!
