Chillin’ for Kids Fundraising Committee

Philanthropy

The Chillin’ for Kids fundraising committee consists of 10 individuals who are passionate about raising funds and awareness for the Bloorview Kids Foundation through an annual curling event held at the Granite Club in Toronto. 

In 2007, Denise Guerriere, Committee Chair, established Chillin’ for Kids with a team of friends.

The Chillin’ for Kids fundraising committee is always thinking of new ways to raise much needed funds for Bloorview. Their unique curling event has evolved into an extraordinary celebration with an extensive guest list, evening program, loyal corporate sponsors, and outstanding auction items.

“This team has shown a continual interest in helping Bloorview fulfill its vision to create a world of possibility for kids with disability,” says Dolly Menna-Dack, a former client at Bloorview. “Philanthropy and community support play a pivotal role in the lives of kids with special health-care needs. By choosing to support a combination of health-care support and fun programs, Chillin’ for Kids has shown that they believe in our vision.”

To date, Chillin’ for Kids has raised more than $220,000 to support numerous programs and the purchase of equipment for Bloorview. The Chillin’ for Kids fundraising committee members exemplify true community leadership.

Bloorview is grateful to the Chillin’ for Kids committee for their dedication to enabling children with disabilities to live the same lives as every other child.
