Become one of
the brave ones
They’re brave because they have to be.
You’re brave because you choose to be.
When you start a monthly gift to CHEO, you become someone a seriously ill child can count on.
Steady, unconditional support for those who need it most.
Showing up each and every month?
Now that’s bravery.
Big change often starts small — with one brave decision. The Brave Ones is a community of people who choose to show up, month after month, for some of the most vulnerable children and youth in our region.
People who don’t scroll past the hard stories but lean in and refuse to let a child face them alone.
People who provide reassurance and stability in a scary and uncertain time.
If this sounds like you, you’re already one of us. All that’s left is to make it official.
What your bravery can do
Ready, Steady, Go!
Your monthly gift provides something invaluable: certainty. We know exactly what we have to work with, which means we can plan, invest and act — not just react.
Fuel breakthroughs
Help us discover new research that improves outcomes for our patients in real time — and gets them back to living their best lives sooner!
Immediate Response
When urgent needs arise, people like you make it possible for CHEO to move with speed and confidence.
Family Support
Take some weight off a parent’s shoulders. Help cover the unexpected costs of hotel stays, parking passes, medication, meals, and more.
Meet Parker
At just seven years old, Parker was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer and needed surgery to remove part of his leg. The news was devastating. After all, he’d always dreamed of playing hockey. After a limb-saving surgery, Parker’s back on the ice and active in all of his favourite sports again. Results like this simply aren’t possible without the support of people who are brave with their generosity — people who act to make the impossible possible.
“We hope that our monthly donation helps other families continue to receive this world-class care.”
