Kids Helping Kids

Acts of caring, kindness, and generosity come from people of all ages in our community. Every day, children and youth in Ottawa-Gatineau and beyond actively raise funds to support patient care and research at CHEO.

From organizing lemonade stands, craft and bake sales, car washes, and school fundraisers to donating the money they collected on their birthdays, youth in our region are incredibly imaginative and generous.

Empowering Youth to Make a Difference

The funds raised by children and youth help provide CHEO’s doctors, nurses, and staff with the tools, equipment, and programs they need to deliver exceptional care to young patients and their families. 

Everyone at CHEO is extremely grateful for these generous contributions.
