2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT - BC Children's Hospital Foundation

2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Transformation is life. 

Every day we transform 

discovery into knowledge 

and despair into hope. 

Some transformation happens 

on its own. At other times 

transformation can only result 

from your generosity. 

Hudson Verigin has cystic fibrosis. We’re 

working with his family to ensure the disease 

doesn’t define who he is. 

Our researchers discovered that children 

newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes have an 

imbalance in their immune cells. Could this 

discovery lead to a cure? 

BC Children’s Hospital was designed 

to accommodate 35,000 annual patient visits. 

In 2010 the hospital had over 205,000 visits. 

How can we care for tomorrow’s patients? 

Milan and Maureen Ilich were the first to 

make a donation of $1 million or more to the 

Campaign for BC Children. Today we’ve raised 

over $134 million toward our $200-million goal. 

Parents and medical staff are participating 

in the planning of the new BC Children’s 

Hospital. Their suggestions will help revolutionize 

the delivery of pediatric care in BC. 

In the past year, more than 115,200 

individuals and organizations made donations 

to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. What 

impact will this have on the lives of thousands 

of children in BC and the Yukon? 

Transformation.

TERI NICHOLAS, MSW, RSW, PRESIDENT & CEO KEVIN BENT, CHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

REPORT OF 

THE PRESIDENT 

AND CHAIR 

Transformation begins with you – our 

donors. You have been the drivers of change at 

BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre 

for Children and the Child & Family Research 

Institute for many years. Since our Foundation 

was established in 1949, hundreds of thousands 

of young lives have been transformed by our 

donors’ generosity. That trend continues and, 

on April 4, just after the conclusion of our 

2010-11 fiscal year, we broke ground on the 

hospital site to begin a physical 

transformation that will have 

a profound and positive impact 

on the hospital, Sunny Hill, the 

research institute and, most 

importantly, on generations of 

British Columbians. 

The ultimate goal of our 

Campaign for BC Children, 

beyond the $200 million we’re 

raising to support the construction 

of the new hospital and 

Child Health BC, is to transform 

the delivery of specialized care 

to BC’s children and youth. 

We’ve had a great year – our 

first as Foundation president 

and chair, respectively. With 

your support, the Foundation 

surpassed previous years’ 

performance, bringing in 

$85.5 million in consolidated 

revenue and close to $30 million 

in campaign donations.

More than 115,200 donors to 

BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny 

Hill and the Child & Family 

Research Institute helped 

make this possible. Included in 

this number are donors to our 

annual fundraising initiatives, 

which culminated in the 

announcement of $16.5 million 

raised at the Miracle Weekend 

celebration in June 2010. This 

result reflected a return to 

strength in terms of dollars 

raised, number of donors and 

investment income following 

the challenging years of 2008 

and 2009. 

Research programs at the 

hospital and Child & Family 

Research Institute received 

a boost in the last fiscal 

year. The Foundation provided 

$9.35 million to fund research 

in 2010-11. The Michael 

Cuccione Foundation 

committed $5 million to name 

the Michael Cuccione Childhood 

Cancer Research Program, 

and the Canucks for Kids Fund 

donated $2 million to diabetes 

research as part of a larger gift. 

The Campaign for BC Children, 

and our fundraising efforts in 

general, gained awareness and 

momentum with the provincial 

government’s announcement 

of Phase 1 funding for the new 

hospital. Since announcing 

gifts of $25 million from Teck 

Resources Limited to name 

the new hospital’s acute care 

centre and $20 million from the 

Overwaitea Food Group, lead 

benefactor of Child Health BC, 

in 2008, we have been able to 

reach many milestones thanks 

to the continuing support of 

our donors, volunteers and corporate 

supporters. In addition, 

a great many staff members at 

the hospital, Sunny Hill and 

the research institute help us 

give our supporters a better 

understanding of the scope 

and depth of clinical care and 

research that takes place by 

speaking at countless Foundation 

events and leading tours 

of our facilities. 

Finally, we have to thank the 

patients and their families 

who so willingly share their 

experiences at BC Children’s 

and Sunny Hill, at events, on 

TV, in newspapers, in our 

magazine, brochures and 

radio ads, and on our website 

and Facebook pages. To do so 

they often relive the painful, 

emotional moments that 

have transformed their lives. 

Their faces and voices capture 

what is possible when you, 

our donors, give us the power 

to change lives for the better. 

They speak for us because they 

recognize that the care they 

receive at the hospital and 

Sunny Hill is made possible 

by people like you, and that 

your gifts and vision will have 

a similar positive impact on 

other children and families in 

the future. 

Some transformation happens 

naturally. Other changes are 

brought about as the result 

of the conscious decisions 

and efforts of people who can 

envision something different, 

something better. You are 

shaping the future of BC 

Children’s Hospital, Sunny 

Hill and the Child & Family 

Research Institute. You are 

helping us build a better 

tomorrow for BC’s children. 

Thank you for your generous 

support.

REPORT FROM 

THE CAMPAIGN CHAIR 

DONALD LINDSAY 

CHAIR, THE CAMPAIGN FOR BC CHILDREN 

In September 2010, the Government of British 

Columbia announced Phase 1 funding of $90.5 million 

for the new hospital project. This announcement of 

funding, for design, planning and site preparation, 

added new momentum to the Campaign for BC 

Children and led to a surge in campaign activity. 

Within days we had secured million-dollar gifts from 

each of board member Doug Gordon and longtime 

volunteer and former board chair Stephanie Carlson. 

Others would follow. 

By June 2011 we had raised over $134 million toward 

our $200-million goal and planning for the new 

hospital was well underway. In April 2011 Premier 

Christy Clark was on hand as we broke ground for the 

Clinical Support Building and construction began. This 

building is required to, in the near term, house staff 

who have to be moved to permit demolition of part 

of the old Shaughnessy hospital building subsequent 

to construction of the new BC Children’s Hospital. 

Once again, thousands of British Columbians made 

donations to the campaign, many in response to our 

campaign media partner Global BC’s live televised 

appeals, and others through events in support of the 

campaign.

Widespread support for the 

campaign – including gifts 

from 50 communities from 

which campaign gifts had 

not previously been recorded 

– was accompanied by major 

gifts from individuals and 

organizations. These include 

TELUS and its employees, who 

contributed $5 million to Child 

Health BC, and the Canucks for 

Kids Fund, which directed $3 

million of a $5-million gift to 

the campaign. The Lee family 

committed $3 million to name 

the diagnostics and imaging 

area in the new hospital. Other 

donors stepped up with gifts 

of $1 million, including the Jack 

and Doris Brown Foundation, 

the Patrick and Beryl Campbell 

Charitable Trust, Jake and 

Judy Kerr, the Peterson Group, 

Scotiabank and its employees, 

and Silver Wheaton. 

Completion of the new 

hospital is still several years 

away, but the campaign is 

already having an impact on 

care. Several specialists who 

have been recruited in the past 

year mention the prospect 

of a new hospital as a factor 

in their decisions to come to 

BC Children’s. Child Health 

BC, with the support of lead 

benefactor the Overwaitea 

Food Group, continues to 

facilitate the provision of 

specialized care for children 

closer to their homes around 

the province. Dr. Maureen 

O’Donnell, past senior medical 

director of Sunny Hill Health 

Centre for Children, has taken 

the role of executive director 

of Child Health BC. Under her 

leadership, Child Health BC 

will continue to play an important 

role in building pediatric 

care capacity in communities 

across BC. 

Our campaign media partners, 

Global BC and the Pattison 

Broadcast Group, continue 

to help us raise awareness of 

the campaign and the great 

work being done by our staff 

at BC Children’s, Sunny Hill 

Health Centre for Children and 

the Child & Family Research 

Institute. Without the support 

of these two media groups, we 

could not reach, and win the 

support of, the tens of thousands 

of British Columbians 

who are backing the campaign. 

As we move into the final 

phase of the campaign we 

are watching with interest 

as plans for the new hospital 

continue to take shape 

through a unique and collaborative 

planning process that 

will deliver much more than 

simply a new building. You can 

read more about that process 

and the campaign in the 

pages of this report. 

A campaign of this size can 

only succeed with the support 

of many people and organizations. 

Generations of children 

in British Columbia will 

benefit from the generosity 

that you, our many friends and 

supporters, are showing today. 

That’s a legacy to be proud of. 

Thank you for supporting the 

Campaign for BC Children. 


THE CAMPAIGN FOR BC CHILDREN 

The goal of the Campaign 

for BC Children is to raise 

$200 million to support the 

construction of a new BC 

Children’s Hospital and to 

ensure all of BC’s children have 

access to a consistent standard 

of specialized care through 

Child Health BC. The true 

benefit of the campaign, 

however, will be the transfor- 

mation of pediatric health- 

care delivery for close to one 

million children in BC and the 

Yukon. Together, the new BC 

Children’s Hospital and Child 

Health BC will provide world- 

class care to our children 

when and where they need it. 

Children are not the sole ben- 

eficiaries of the Campaign for 

BC Children. Indeed, families 

and communities across the 

province are benefiting from 

this campaign. 

In the new BC Children’s 

Hospital, families will be 

welcomed into a child-friendly 

facility that features spaces 

that encourage and enable 

families to support their 

children during treatment and 

recovery. It will be equipped 

with the latest technology so 

our outstanding caregivers 

can do their best work. The 

transformation the campaign 

is bringing about isn’t just 

physical. We’re using this 

opportunity to ensure children 

benefit from improved 

processes that are aimed at 

increasing efficiency, reducing 

fear, speeding healing and 

minimizing risk. Our caregivers 

and researchers are constantly 

improving their ability to tackle 

complex and chronic childhood 

illnesses. More children than 

ever are surviving serious 

childhood illnesses, but the 

need will not go away. The 

Campaign for BC Children 

will ensure generations of BC 

children have access to the 

very best care. 

Child Health BC, a provincial 

network of caregivers and 

health authorities, is focused 

on building pediatric care 

capacity around the province. 

By working with regional medical 

facilities and through training and 

education programs for regional 

caregivers, Child Health BC is 

helping children across the 

province get the care they need 

closer to home. 

British Columbians are stepping 

up to facilitate this transformation 

of pediatric care. By June of 2011, 

the community had contributed 

over $134 million toward our $200million 

campaign goal. Since the 

launch of the campaign in 2008, 

over 27,278 people and organizations 

from 276 communities in 

BC and the Yukon have made 

contributions. Last year alone, 

5,170 more donors came forward 

to support the campaign.

Phase 1 of the Campaign for BC Children: 

Premier Christy Clark addresses the crowd at the 

Clinical Support Building groundbreaking on April 4, 2011. 

TRANSFORMING BC CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL 

Teck Resources Limited made a $25-million commitment 

in 2008 to name the acute care centre in the new BC 

Children’s Hospital. 

Phase 1 of this project, which 

includes planning, design 

and site preparation, is well 

underway. Expansion of the 

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 

is complete, increasing the 

number of beds available long 

before the new hospital is 

built. Planners, patient families 

and health professionals have 

been working together to 

develop recommendations 

for consideration by architects 

as plans take shape. 

In March 2011, the first signs 

of construction were seen on 

the hospital site. The Clinical 

Support Building, scheduled 

for completion in summer 2012, 

will house staff who currently 

occupy the part of the old 

Shaughnessy building that is 

slated for demolition in 2013. 

This relocation of staff will 

help minimize disruption of 

services and make way for new 

hospital construction, scheduled 

to begin in early 2014. 

Phase 2 – construction of the 

new BC Children’s Hospital – 

is expected to take about three 

years. The new hospital will 

comprise all the acute-care areas, 

including the Emergency and 

Diagnostics & Imaging departments, 

the Pediatric Intensive 

Care Unit and operating 

rooms, as well as three floors 

of inpatient beds. 

Following the opening of the 

new hospital in 2017, the third 

and final phase will get underway. 

At that time child development 

and rehabilitation services 

will be moved from Sunny Hill 

Health Centre for Children to 

the new BC Children’s Hospital. 

With your support of the 

Campaign for BC Children, we 

are transforming the delivery of 

pediatric care in BC, and the lives 

of the children and family members 

who are, or will be, touched 

by the caregivers at BC Children’s 

Hospital and Sunny Hill. 


Sophie Pearce-Harvey is a fighter. Born with 

Down syndrome and a large hole in her heart 

Sophie had undergone three open-heart surgeries 

at BC Children’s Hospital by the time she was 

six months old. At 10 years old Sophie was 

presented with yet another challenge – she was 

diagnosed with leukemia. Because of Sophie’s 

history of cardiac problems, traditional therapies 

to treat leukemia, which affect the heart, could 

not be used. 

Oncologists at BC Children’s 

came up with a highly customized 

but risky plan to treat 

Sophie – many did not expect 

her to survive. But the feisty 

teenager, just as she’s done 

since day one, defied all odds 

and made it through her threeyear 

cancer treatment. Today 

her health is better than it’s 

ever been. Sophie is one of the 

province’s growing number of 

patients who, because of her 

multifaceted health condition, 

requires the type of complex 

and specialized care that only 

Children’s Hospital can provide.

MILAN & MAUREEN ILICH 

As leaders in business and philanthropy, 

Milan and Maureen Ilich 

have never been afraid to go first. 

True to form, the Ilichs were the first 

individuals to step forward with a 

$1-million lead gift to the Campaign 

for BC Children. Over the past three 

decades, Milan and Maureen have 

helped to promote the health and 

well-being of children and families 

throughout British Columbia through 

the Milan and Maureen Ilich 

Foundation. Since 1989, they have 

donated over $1.7 million to BC 

Children’s Hospital Foundation. 

In addition to their financial contributions, 

Milan and Maureen’s gifts of 

time and energy illustrate their lifelong 

dedication to philanthropy and caring 

for the needs of children – from being 

founding members of the Children’s 

Circle of Care and serving on BC 

Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Board, 

to instilling the value of philanthropy in 

the next generations of philanthropists. 

Last year Milan and Maureen were 

recognized for their outstanding contributions 

to BC Children’s Hospital at 

the Children’s Circle of Care Leadership 

Conference in Atlanta. Their generous 

spirit and philanthropic leadership are 

an inspiration to all British Columbians.

CHILD HEALTH BC 

The Overwaitea Food Group 

became Child Health BC’s 

lead benefactor with its gift 

of $20 million. BC Children’s 

Hospital Foundation is raising 

$50 million for Child Health 

BC through the Campaign for 

BC Children. 

Improving the health status of 

all of BC’s infants, children and 

youth is the mission of Child 

Health BC. Child Health BC’s 

partners include BC Children’s 

Hospital, BC’s regional health 

authorities, government partners, 

including the Ministry 

of Health and ministries of 

Children and Family Development 

and Education, and other 

pediatric leaders, all of whom 

have a collective commitment 

to collaboration and a desire to 

build and implement a unified 

provincial plan for children. 

To do this Child Health BC 

has facilitated the delivery of 

subspecialized pediatric care

Elliott Reid’s most recent trip 

to BC Children’s Hospital had 

nothing to do with the heart 

damage he suffered two years 

ago when a strep infection 

went into his heart. The 13-yearold 

has been airlifted to BC 

Children’s Hospital twice from 

his hometown of Tumbler Ridge 

in northern BC and undergone 

two surgeries to treat a life- 

threatening heart condition. 

Elliott even persevered through 

having his chest open in the 

Pediatric Intensive Care Unit 

to monitor him for infection for 

several days following surgery. 

Today, thanks to Child Health 

BC, the Reids travel only a 

few hours by car to a clinic in 

Prince George to see a pediatric 

heart specialist. Getting care 

closer to home spares Elliott’s 

family the stress, cost and time 

of the arduous 18-hour drive to 

Vancouver. Despite the distance, 

Elliott’s family decided to make 

a special visit to Children’s this 

year. On June 4, Elliott presented 

a cheque for $3,100 on the 

2011 Miracle Weekend telethon. 

Fundraising in his home community 

was Elliott’s way to give 

back to the place that helped to 

save his life. 

ElliottREID

TELUS 

With the mandate “we give where 

we live” at the heart of its culture 

and as a leader in telecommunications, 

it is no surprise that 

TELUS is donating $5 million to 

help Child Health BC use technology 

to improve the delivery of 

specialized care to children across 

the province. Since 1982 TELUS 

and its employees have donated 

over $10 million, in addition to 

this latest gift, and 20,000 volunteer 

hours to the hospital. Among 

TELUS’ many volunteers is Peter 

Green, senior vice president and 

president of small and medium 

business, who serves on BC 

Children’s Hospital Foundation’s 

Board of Directors. 

Of the 78,000 patients who visit 

BC Children’s annually, 67 per 

cent come from outside the City 

of Vancouver. We’ll use technology 

to give BC’s children and 

regional caregivers better access 

to specialized medical expertise, 

ensuring children receive the 

highest standard of care no matter 

where they live. This donation 

will help to minimize or eliminate 

the need for families to travel to 

the hospital for treatment, making 

life easier for both patients and 

families throughout BC.

PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT 

Five years ago, the average 

length of stay in our Pediatric 

Intensive Care Unit (PICU) was 

9.3 days. Last year children 

admitted to the PICU stayed, 

on average, 4.4 days. This 

reduction makes beds available 

to other children in need 

of intensive care sooner, and 

reflects the evidence-based 

philosophy that children often 

recover better at home. Still, 

some children spend weeks, 

even months, in the PICU 

depending on the nature of 

their condition. 

Caregivers in the 18-bed PICU 

at BC Children’s Hospital 

treated 1,161 children last year. 

This is BC’s only quaternary – 

or most specialized – intensive 

care unit designed to meet the 

needs of our sickest kids. Here, 

babies, children and teens on 

life support, recovering from 

open-heart surgery, or suffering 

from any number of lifethreatening 

illnesses, receive 

around-the-clock attention 

from a team of caregivers 

specially trained to care for the 

most fragile children. 

Our PICU staff are committed 

to making our patients’ and 

families’ hospital stays a 

little easier. We do this is by 

creating an efficient flow of 

patient care and open lines 

of communication. Over the 

past year, we have reduced 

the length of time families 

must wait before speaking 

with a surgeon after their 

child’s surgery, minimized 

the number of lab tests that 

children require – and all the 

poking and prodding that go 

along with them – and drastically 

decreased the incidence 

of problems associated with 

collecting and transporting lab 

specimens. All of this equals 

better care for the kids who 

need it most. 

Learning from recent experiences 

with SARS and H1N1, 

the unit has recently acquired 

22 new ventilators to help 

care for BC’s children should a 

pandemic occur. Outside of the 

unit, our Home Ventilator Loan 

Program allows families of 

children who require ventilators 

at home to “test run” units

while learning how to improve 

the lives of their children. 

Our staff continue to learn 

as well. Last year more than 

150 nurses and community 

care providers participated in 

education sessions to update 

their knowledge and skills. 

Thanks to your support, and generous 

gifts from donors like Mike 

and Lisa Hudson and the families 

of Daniel and Henrik Sedin, the 

new BC Children’s Hospital will 

have a PICU environment that 

parallels the level of expertise we 

already have in place. 


TristynTALLIO 

In his four years, Tristyn Tallio’s 

life has been full of unexpected 

miracles. Born with a syndrome 

so rare that it cannot even be found 

in a pediatric textbook, he was not 

expected to survive past birth. He 

did. As a newborn, with major heart 

and lung defects, half of a sternum, 

an enlarged liver and his intestines 

outside of his body, Tristyn was never 

expected to leave the hospital. He 

did. Because of his tracheostomy, 

he was not expected to speak, but 

even this, he did. 

Because of his complex health needs, 

Tristyn has spent most of his life in 

the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit 

(PICU) at BC Children’s. For more 

than three years, it was his home. 

Through the care and love of 

his caregivers in the PICU, and his 

mother Bertha, who has never 

left his side, Tristyn has overcome 

insurmountable odds. He left his 

hospital home several months ago 

and is headed to kindergarten 

this fall. For a boy who was never 

expected to pass his third birthday, 

Tristyn truly is a miracle.

THE HUDSON FAMILY 

When Lisa and Mike Hudson first 

learned about the Campaign for BC 

Children, they knew that they had 

to get involved. During visits to the 

hospital they gained an understanding 

of the immense need of the 

patients and families in the Pediatric 

Intensive Care Unit. Moved by the 

possibilities, the Hudsons knew it 

wasn’t a matter of deciding whether 

or not to give, it was how much. Lisa 

and Mike were determined to give 

as much as they possibly could and 

decided to make a transformational 

gift five times more than they had 

originally intended. 

For this young family, philanthropy 

is more than giving money. It is a 

way to teach their children about 

what is truly valuable, to share the 

belief that we all have a responsibility 

to care for and protect one another, 

and to create a better world with 

whatever means we have. Through 

the campaign, the Hudson family is 

helping to safeguard the health of 

children and creating a legacy that 

their own children can be proud of 

today, and for years to come.

SUNNY HILL HEALTH CENTRE 

FOR CHILDREN 

Gone are the days when 

children with disabilities and 

developmental conditions 

were isolated from society. 

Today we know that early 

intervention and therapy can 

help children with behavioural 

problems, brain and spine 

injuries or debilitating 

illnesses to reach their highest 

potential. A better understanding 

of these conditions 

is helping to remove the 

stigma of ability challenges, 

and giving children with a 

huge spectrum of conditions 

that affect their growth and 

development the chance to 

become active and healthy 

members of our society. 

More than 5,000 children 

are seen at Sunny Hill Health 

Centre for Children each year. 

With conditions ranging 

from cerebral palsy to autism, 

these children benefit from 

Sunny Hill’s caregivers’ wide 

range of expertise. Last year, 

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 

raised $1.18 million to 

support the varied and unique 

needs of these children. 

Equipment purchases of 

$155,720 included customized 

bedding for kids with high risk 

of skin breakdown or positioning 

difficulties due to paralysis, 

and a shower trolley that lets 

children shower and bathe 

safely on the inpatient unit. 

Several powered and adjustable 

wheelchairs designed for a 

wide range of children and 

uses were funded, and also a 

head array with switches that 

lets kids drive a wheelchair by 

moving their head. 

Research is giving us insight 

into better care, including 

how to reduce wait times for 

rehabilitation services and 

improve care for children 

with complex and chronic 

health conditions. We invested 

$470,000 in research aimed 

at improving the lives of 

children and youth with 

neurodevelopmental conditions 

and chronic illnesses.

Our dedicated staff, under 

the leadership of Dr. Nancy 

Lanphear and Fran Boyd, 

keep our care, research and 

educational activities thriving. 

Over the past year we’ve 

helped to increase the number 

of child-health professionals 

through student training, 

two developmental pediatrics 

fellowships and a psychology 

intern. In total, $230,500 went 

to training future caregivers of 

children with disabilities and 

other challenges. 

The “I Can Talk Too” Program 

received $150,000 to provide 

assistive communication 

devices to 79 children last year. 

Without this program, many 

of these children would not 

be able to talk, write or share 

their feelings with loved ones. 

We also supported simple 

patient comforts – outings, 

visits from child entertainers, 

birthdays and holiday parties. 

Your gifts to Sunny Hill are 

making all of this, and more, 

possible. 


CarleighO’HARA 

Carleigh O’Hara was a healthy, 

charismatic 17-month-old when her mom, 

Lisa, heard her breathing strangely in her 

crib. Unable to wake Carleigh, Lisa called 

911. Doctors at their local hospital, unable 

to get Carleigh’s seizures under control, 

soon recognized she needed specialized 

pediatric care. They were raced to 

Children’s Hospital where Carleigh spent 

the next week on respirator in an isolation 

room in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. 

When she finally woke up, Carleigh could 

no longer hold her head up, walk, talk or 

even swallow. 

Carleigh’s caregivers knew that Sunny Hill 

Health Centre for Children would be the 

best place for her to recover – to relearn 

the skills she had lost so suddenly. The 

O’Haras spent three months at Sunny Hill, 

until Carleigh no longer needed a feeding 

tube, could hold her head up and was 

crawling again. She has been seizure-free 

since February 2011 and, though she still 

has many physical and developmental 

delays, Carleigh is a happy three-year-old, 

back to her outgoing and smiling self. 

Despite numerous tests and assessments, 

the cause of Carleigh’s condition remains 

a mystery.

ADRIENNE THIESSEN 

Last summer, Adrienne Thiessen, 

owner of Gemini Visuals and 

member of a non-profit organization 

called Vancouver Family Roots – 

a collective of female-run businesses 

focused on families and healthy 

lifestyle – decided to host a photo 

fundraising event in Vancouver’s 

Kitsilano neighbourhood. Inspired 

by Carleigh O’Hara, a client’s 

daughter, whose story is featured 

on the preceeding page, Adrienne 

brought 15 local vendors together to 

offer natural, organic and “green” 

goods for sale, provide education 

and raise money for Sunny Hill. 

Held on June 6, 2010, the Kitsilano 

Photo Fundraiser raised $600, 

created awareness in the community, 

and gave families the chance to capture 

photo memories while supporting 

charity. Last year, individuals and 

organizations across BC held more 

than 100 independent community 

events that raised over $485,000 for 

care and research at BC Children’s 

Hospital and Sunny Hill.

CHILD & FAMILY 

RESEARCH INSTITUTE 

At the Child & Family 

Research Institute (CFRI), 

BC Children’s Hospital clinicians 

and researchers work 

hand-in-hand to understand 

the causes of childhood disease 

and find better treatments so 

each child can have the best 

start in life. 

Last year, BC Children’s 

Hospital Foundation provided 

$9.35 million to CFRI. Our 

researchers use this support 

to leverage external grants: for 

every $1 from the Foundation, 

CFRI researchers obtain 

$6 from major funding competitions 

across Canada and 

internationally. These grants 

are awarded for specific childhealth 

research projects that 

over 800 researchers, trainees 

and staff work on at CFRI. 

Among our major contributors 

to research, the Canucks 

for Kids Fund announced a 

gift this past year of $2 million 

to the Diabetes Research 

Laboratory at CFRI. Headed by 

Dr. Bruce Verchere, CFRI’s diabetes 

research team includes researchers 

and clinicians who study ways 

to prevent and cure diabetes. 

There is currently no cure for 

diabetes and children with the 

disease face life-threatening 

difficulties in maintaining normal 

blood sugar and a lifetime risk 

of nerve damage, blindness, and 

heart and kidney disease.

Last year, CFRI’s diabetes 

research team discovered that 

children newly diagnosed 

with type 1 diabetes have an 

imbalance in their immune 

cells. While these cells play 

important roles in fighting 

infection and preventing 

disease, sometimes they 

attack other cells in a child’s 

body instead – CFRI research 

suggests this may lead to the 

development of diabetes. Our 

researchers have shared their 

discoveries with scientific and 

medical communities around 

the world. They hope that, 

based on these findings, new 

treatments will be developed 

to prevent or cure diabetes by 

targeting immune cell defects. 

This is one of many examples 

of research that is possible 

because of the close connection 

between CFRI and 

BC Children’s Hospital: an 

unsolved clinical problem that 

became a research project and 

led to important new findings 

that may help to improve child 

health. Without such research, 

new treatments won’t be 

found and disease prevention 

will remain elusive. Research 

is essential for BC Children’s 

Hospital to provide state-ofthe-art 

medical care for children, 

to recruit and retain the best 

physicians and health-care 

professionals, and to become a 

world leader in child health care. 

Your support makes it possible 

for CFRI researchers to carry out 

the research that is needed to 

give every child their greatest 

chance for a healthy life. 


ColePRICE 

Earlier this year, two-yearold 

Cole Price was sick almost 

constantly. His mom, Lisa, was 

concerned but had no idea 

that Cole’s immune system 

was turning against the insulinproducing 

cells of his pancreas. 

With no family history of the 

disease, Cole was diagnosed 

with type 1 (juvenile-onset) 

diabetes on April 1, 2011. 

Untrained on how to test 

glucose levels or administer 

insulin, his parents commuted 

daily from Cloverdale, BC, to 

Children’s Hospital to get Cole 

the care he needed. After six 

days of intensive monitoring, 

treatments and training, Cole’s 

parents were ready to begin 

caring for him at home. 

Right now Cole is in what is 

called the “honeymoon phase” 

– his pancreas is still producing 

some insulin but, over time, 

will continue to produce less 

and eventually none. Diabetes 

researchers at the Child & 

Family Research Institute 

are working to find out how 

to prevent and reverse this 

process in kids like Cole, with 

the ultimate goal of one day 

finding a cure.

CANUCKS FOR KIDS FUND 

On March 14, 2011, the Canucks 

for Kids Fund announced a gift of 

$5 million to support the Campaign 

for BC Children and the Diabetes 

Research Laboratory at the 

Child & Family Research Institute 

at Children’s Hospital. 

The Vancouver Canucks have a 

longstanding partnership with BC 

Children’s. Players make regular 

visits to the hospital and have even 

been seen playing “hallway” hockey 

with patients on occasion. In addition 

to the recent gift, the Canucks 

for Kids Fund has granted more than 

$1.3 million to the hospital to build 

the Canucks Playroom and to support 

numerous programs and research 

over the years. Individual players 

have also made personal gifts to the 

campaign and help to promote 

province-wide fundraising events like 

Jeans Day TM every year. 

This $5-million gift from the Vancouver 

Canucks and the Canucks for Kids Fund 

demonstrates the exceptional community 

leadership and vision of this outstanding 

sports team.

PEDIATRIC SURGERY 

In the last 20 years, children’s 

surgeries have become more complex, 

requiring larger teams and more 

technology than ever before. Our 

surgical teams are working to reduce 

a child’s fear before surgery, using 

minimally invasive procedures whenever 

possible to reduce risk and speed 

recovery, and seeking alternatives to 

surgery where appropriate. Still, our 

surgeons performed 7,898 operations 

last year, clocking 12,402 hours of 

operating room time. Our clinics had 

48,826 visits from children requiring 

heart, head, back, bone and other 

surgeries at BC Children’s Hospital. 

In addition to performing 1,029 

surgeries last year, our orthopedic 

teams are researching the best ways 

to treat children – with and without 

surgery. Under Dr. Christine Alvarez, 

the Clubfoot Program, which uses 

Botox instead of surgery, has reduced 

our surgical rate for clubfoot from 

80 per cent to less than two per cent 

in infants in their first year of life.

Our cardiac surgeons 

performed 338 procedures 

in 2010, most of which were 

open-heart, and a new head 

of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Dr. 

Sanjiv Gandhi, joined the team. 

Since his arrival, Dr. Gandhi 

has reduced the surgical wait 

time for children with heart 

conditions and shortened the 

average length of hospital 

stays in the Pediatric Intensive 

Care Unit after heart surgery 

by half. 

Children in BC made 6,112 

visits to our Neurosciences 

Program outpatient clinics last 

year, and 1,936 were admitted 

to the Neuroscience/Surgical 

Unit, a 32-bed inpatient unit 

that sees children in more than 

13 subspecialties. As of April 

2010, this unit was staffed by 

60 nurses, 43 of whom have 

worked on the unit since its 

creation. Our ability to retain 

and recruit nursing and other 

medical staff is key to the 

success of our facility – and 

the well-being of our patients 

– because keeping expertise 

in-house, and in-province, 

helps to improve care for all 

the children we treat. 

The Office of Pediatric Surgical 

Evaluation and Innovation, 

which celebrated six years of 

operation this year, recently 

established the Special Smiles 

Dental Desensitizing Program 

to make dental visits easier 

for children with behavioural 

issues. Last year close to 1,000 

children had dental surgery at 

BC Children’s. 

Among this year’s firsts, the 

Surgical Day Care Unit, which 

sees 7,100 children annually, 

completed its first renovation 

since 1984. And we are the first 

Canadian children’s hospital to 

enrol in a new patient safety 

initiative – the Pediatric National 

Surgical Quality Improvement 

Program – sponsored by the 

American College of Surgeons. 

Thank you for your support. 


Grace teBOEKHORST 

Grace teBoekhorst has a gift 

from her father, Dennis, that few 

children receive from their parents 

– a kidney. In August 2010, the 

five-year-old underwent a lifesaving 

kidney transplant surgery at BC 

Children’s Hospital with Dennis as 

her organ donor. Grace suffers from 

an extremely rare disease called 

nephrotic syndrome, which damages 

the kidneys and weakens the body’s 

immune system. By the time Grace 

had her transplant she had less 

than 20 per cent of kidney function 

remaining and was at the hospital 

four times a week for hemodialysis. 

Before the transplant, at the time 

when she was most ill, Grace was 

put on an extracorporeal life support 

machine that performed the 

functions of her lungs, kidneys and 

heart, which were all shutting down. 

Since her surgery last year, Grace 

has grown three and a half inches 

and bounced back into an active 

life. Throughout her journey the 

caregivers at BC Children’s have 

become like a second family to the 

teBoekhorsts, who credit the staff at 

Children’s Hospital for saving their 

little girl’s life.

DR. CINDY VERCHERE 

As a full-time surgeon, Dr. Cindy 

Verchere, head of the Division of 

Pediatric Plastic Surgery at BC 

Children’s Hospital, rarely gets a 

moment’s rest. She is passionate 

about what she does – treating 

children who have suffered burns, 

hand or facial injuries, or are 

born with clefts and other visible 

conditions. 

Dr. Verchere, and all six other 

members of her division, are 

members of the Children’s Circle 

of Care – an international giving 

circle that recognizes individuals, 

family foundations and privately 

owned corporations who give 

$10,000 or more annually to 

their local children’s hospital. 

The team’s donations, matched 

100 per cent with funds provided 

by two donors, enable her 

group to hire a clinical fellow 

and a research coordinator, 

who are instrumental to the care 

of children requiring pediatric 

plastic surgery. She and her 

team are proud to be able to 

give back to a cause that is close 

to their hearts.

CHILDHOOD 

CANCER 

PROGRAMS 

& RESEARCH 

Changes in cancer treatments, 

and investments in 

cancer research, have more 

than doubled the survival 

rate for children with cancer 

in the last 40 years. These 

numbers translate into many 

lives saved, but cancer still 

kills more children in North 

America than any other 

disease. 

Over 130 children and youth in 

BC are diagnosed with cancer 

each year, and all of them 

come to BC Children’s Hospital 

for care. Currently there are 

over 760 children in active cancer 

treatment at the hospital. 

Last year, 25 children in BC had 

bone marrow transplants, and 

our Oncology Outpatient Clinic 

had 6,804 visits from children 

and their families. 

In January 2011, the Michael 

Cuccione Foundation committed 

$5 million to name the 

Michael Cuccione Childhood 

Cancer Research Program. 

This gift provides 10 years 

of funding for childhood 

cancer research at the Child 

& Family Research Institute 

(CFRI), allowing researchers 

to deepen our understanding 

of childhood cancer and seek 

new therapies. Significant 

contributions from Balding for 

Dollars, Coast to Coast Against 

Cancer Foundation, CIBC and 

the Chinese-Canadian community 

will also help children and 

families by supporting cancer 

programs and research. 

New resources bring new 

researchers. Dr. Gregor Reid, 

recruited from one of the top 

US children’s cancer hospitals, 

joined the research program 

to help improve children’s 

survival by reorienting the 

immune system to attack 

leukemia. Dr. Kirk Schultz, 

a world-renowned childhood 

cancer researcher and 

clinician, is evaluating a new 

immune therapy for leukemia 

based on his team’s work at 

the hospital and CFRI.

Our clinical researchers 

continue to lead national 

and international initiatives, 

including the C17 Childhood 

Cancer Developmental 

Therapeutics Program, cochaired 

by Dr. Sandra Dunn. 

As part of the Children’s 

Oncology Group – the world’s 

largest children’s treatment 

research group – Dr. David 

Dix leads a Wilms tumour 

study; Dr. Mason Bond leads 

a sarcoma study; and Dr. Poul 

Sorensen sits on the Biology 

and Therapeutics Committee. 

As more children survive, we 

must also look at the effects 

of cancer treatments over time. 

Dr. Mary McBride, under 

Dr. Sheila Pritchard, researches 

the long-term effects of childhood 

cancer; Drs. Rod Rassekh, 

Bruce Carleton and Colin Ross 

explore why some children 

develop hearing loss from 

chemotherapy; and Dr. Sorensen, 

in collaboration with Dr. Schultz, 

leads a national study to see 

why cancers occur in children. 

These and other donor-funded 

studies are leading the way to 

better treatments with fewer 

side effects. 


JaydenPUN 

Within 24 hours of arriving at BC 

Children’s Hospital, Jayden Pun went from 

Emergency, through multiple tests and examinations, 

to being diagnosed with leukemia, 

having a bone marrow biopsy, and his first 

dose of chemotherapy on June 30, 2008. 

Amazingly, after two weeks, seven-year-old 

Jayden was in remission. Despite experiencing 

common side effects from the cancerkilling 

drugs – weight and hair loss, fatigue, 

nausea and vomiting – and an allergic 

reaction to a platelet transfusion, Jayden 

endured eight and a half months of intense 

chemotherapy without complaint. 

Though he did not go to school for most 

of his Grade 2 year, Jayden did his school 

work while at home or in hospital, and 

was back for Grade 3 in September 2009. 

With most of the pokes for blood work, 

chemotherapy and lumbar punctures behind 

him, Jayden is now in the last phase of 

his treatment. He visits the hospital once 

a month and will continue to take oral 

medication daily at home until his treatment 

ends on October 28, 2011.

CHINESE-CANADIAN COMMUNITY 

What started as one person’s dream 

became an entire community’s pledge 

to support BC Children’s Hospital. In 

April 2010, inspired by a longtime 

volunteer, the Chinese-Canadian 

community announced its commitment 

to fund the Oncology Inpatient Unit 

in the new BC Children’s Hospital by 

raising $5 million over three years. 

This ambitious project, aptly named 

Operation Superhero, will help to 

transform the environment in which 

children with cancer will be treated. 

Since 1994, the Chinese-Canadian 

community has raised over $38 

million for the hospital. In addition 

to Operation Superhero, many 

individuals and corporations within 

this community – such as the Lee family 

and the Peterson Group – have 

made significant contributions to the 

hospital. To date, Operation Superhero 

has raised $2.2 million of its goal 

and is well on its way to becoming 

the Chinese-Canadian community’s 

most successful endeavour in support 

of child health yet.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT 

For tens of thousands 

of families every year, the 

Emergency Department (ED) is 

their first stop at BC Children’s 

Hospital. That’s why our 

emergency staff are ready – 

at any time – to quickly assess, 

treat and refer the children 

we see. To do this, we require 

skilled critical-care specialists, 

a high-tech environment and 

unique medical equipment 

designed specifically for kids. 

Since it opened in 1982 the ED 

has served the children and 

families of BC 24 hours a day, 

seven days a week. It is the 

only facility in BC dedicated 

solely to emergency care for 

children. Children in our ED, 

which receives an average of 

42,000 patient visits each year, 

may have fractured bones, 

seizures, painful burns, respira- 

tory illness or life-threatening 

trauma injuries. Children who 

require urgent or emergency 

care in the Lower Mainland 

may come directly to BC 

Children’s ED or be transferred 

from anywhere in the province. 

Last year donor support funded 

the purchase of a Bier block 

machine, which helps to reduce 

pain for children who need to 

have their limbs reset due to a 

bone fracture or misalignment. 

The use of regional anesthesia

on the affected limb only, 

rather than subjecting the 

child to general anesthesia, 

permits faster recovery and 

shorter hospital stays. 

Another recently purchased 

item is a video-assisted laryn- 

goscope used for intubating 

children who cannot breathe. 

By making it easier for 

caregivers to clear a child’s 

airway, the equipment not 

only helps to save lives but 

also minimizes the impact 

a loss of oxygen has on the 

body. Without enough oxygen, 

a child can suffer irreparable 

brain damage in just minutes. 

While the number of children 

requiring this type of 

emergency intubation is 

small, it’s an invaluable tool 

in critical moments. 

Our ED recently won an award 

for its family-focused use of 

digital screens. The screens 

display wait times and reasons 

for the wait, keeping families 

informed and reducing stress. 

They also provide information 

on ED procedures, and supply 

useful, seasonal health promotion 

information, such as water, 

fire, skiing and burn safety tips, 

to help prevent injuries. Thank 

you for supporting emergency 

care at our hospital. 


In her eight years of life, 

Gabrielle Friedman has visited 

the hospital more times than 

a typical adult would in a 

lifetime. Gabrielle suffered from 

persistent ear infections, had 

seizures, and experienced a 

near shut-down of her major 

organs, all before her parents 

even knew the name of their 

daughter’s condition. She and 

her family have come to rely 

on the Emergency Department 

at BC Children’s countless times 

for the specialized, lifesaving 

care Gabrielle has needed over 

the years. 

Thanks to a new procedure to 

help blood bypass a permanent 

clot in her portal vein, which 

was the root of her health 

problems, Gabrielle’s trips to 

the hospital are nowhere near 

as frequent. Today, she only 

comes to BC Children’s twice 

a year for checkups and her 

visits to Emergency are virtually 

none. Gabrielle has dreams 

of becoming a doctor, just 

like the ones who have 

helped her.

LEDCOR GROUP 

OF COMPANIES & 

DAVE LEDE FAMILY 

CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

There are many reasons why Lee 

Coonfer feels proud to work at 

the Ledcor Group of Companies. 

For one, his employer generously 

supports the place that helped to 

save one of his daughters’ vision. 

When Ava Coonfer was only 

10 weeks old, doctors at BC 

Children’s found a blood-filled 

blister, caused by a tumour, on 

her eyelid. The blister threatened 

her eyesight and she was fitted 

with glasses at 11 months old. 

Since 1988, the Ledcor Group 

of Companies has donated 

millions of dollars to BC 

Children’s Hospital, including a 

$5-million gift, made together 

with the Dave Lede Family 

Charitable Foundation, to name 

the Emergency Department in the 

new BC Children’s Hospital. As 

the first line of care for children, 

Emergency plays a vital role 

in diagnosing and treating 

children, like Ava, who come 

to the hospital. Ledcor’s contributions 

are a true testament to its 

core values, as well as to 

the importance the Lede family 

places on philanthropy.

EXCELLENCE IN 

CHILD HEALTH 

Our hospital requires 

constant upgrading and 

investment in order to main- 

tain the excellent level of care 

we provide to children. That’s 

why BC Children’s Hospital 

Foundation raises $13 million 

to support the Excellence in 

Child Health Fund every year. 

These funds are vitally important 

because, as undesignated 

dollars, they can be directed 

to the hospital areas with the 

greatest need. Excellence in 

Child Health is supported by 

the contributions of thousands 

of generous donors and 

volunteers, and is celebrated 

during our annual Miracle 

Weekend, the most successful 

children’s hospital telethon 

in Canada. 

Last year, over $2.2 million 

went toward hospital equipment, 

including new operating 

room lights, a high-resolution 

digital ultrasound machine, 

and clinical equipment such 

as high-definition scopes to 

see inside the body, warming 

blankets for babies and an 

electrocardiogram machine 

to look at children’s hearts. 

Donations also supported CPR 

training for our caregivers, 

web-based information tools 

for children and families, 

and helped fund the work of 

clinical and research staff. 

Donor funds also supported 

the Centre for International 

Child Health (CICH), which 

received $135,000 to maintain 

its activities in China, 

Africa and India. With your 

support CICH is helping 

to save children’s lives by 

training caregivers in developing 

nations in cardiac surgery, 

neuroscience and neurodevelopment, 

emergency medicine 

and infectious disease. CICH 

is also developing programs 

to prevent bacterial infection 

in children and provide safe 

drugs in Africa. 

Clinical fellowship funding 

– to support subspecialty 

training for our physicians – 

is key to keeping BC Children’s 

in the lead when it comes to 

providing the best care for kids. 

A total of $640,000 supported 

the work of 15 of our doctors 

specializing in anesthesia, 

radiology, psychiatry, neurology, 

neurosurgery, genetics, orthopedics, 

infectious diseases, 

endocrinology, emergency, 

developmental pediatrics and 

gastroenterology. 

The Telethon Projects Competition 

provided $250,000 for the innovative 

clinical projects of junior 

researchers who are not yet 

able to get support from larger 

external funding organizations, 

and to clinical staff who show 

the most promise for improving 

child health care. Seven of these 

projects were funded in 2010-11. 

Great leadership sets the pace 

for the extraordinary work of our 

medical teams and researchers. 

Last year, we invested $550,000 

to recruit the best medical leaders 

and scientific minds to our hospital 

and research institute. With 

your support we have recruited 

and retained outstanding physicians, 

surgeons and researchers, 

and gained the additional medical 

expertise and technological savvy 

we need to keep BC Children’s at 

the top.

REPORT FROM 

THE FINANCE 

COMMITTEE 

We are pleased to report 

that economic recovery is 

evident in last year’s upswing 

in donations and investment 

income to the Foundation. 

Our total consolidated revenues, 

including lotteries and 

investments, increased to $85.5 

million in 2010-11. This reflects 

an increase of more than $29 

million from the previous year. 

The increase in consolidated 

revenue can be attributed in 

part to an increase in investment 

income, but is primarily 

a result of community support 

for the Campaign for BC 

Children, which brought in 

$29.2 million in new contributions 

to the hospital redevelopment 

project and Child Health 

BC between April 1, 2010, and 

March 31, 2011. The bulk of 

these campaign contributions 

were in the form of major gifts 

to the Foundation. This return 

of major gift activity is a good 

indicator for our recovering 

economy and we expect that 

this trend will continue. At 

the end of this fiscal year, the 

campaign had reached $132.6 

million of its $200-million goal. 

Our Miracle Weekend revenue 

was up as well last year, 

raising just over $16.5 million 

in 2010. Following the decline 

in Miracle Weekend revenue 

recorded in the previous year, 

annual program activity in 

2010 was in all terms a success. 

Events such as ChildRun, Jeans 

Day and Mining for Miracles 

each raised in excess of $1 

million. 

Earlier this year we held our 

10th “Choices” lottery. For the 

second year running, we sold 

out prior to the early bird draw. 

The 2011 “Choices” lottery 

raised over $2.6 million, in 

addition to our “Dream” lottery, 

held in July 2010, which raised 

an additional $2.4 million to 

GEOFF PARKIN 

CHAIR,FINANCE COMMITTEE 

support Children’s Hospital and 

the Child & Family Research 

Institute. The “Choices” lottery 

has raised over $27 million in 

the past 10 years. 

The Campaign for BC Children 

remains a priority, as does supporting 

the most urgent annual 

needs of BC Children’s Hospital, 

Sunny Hill Health Centre for 

Children and the Child & Family 

Research Institute.

KNUT NORDLIE, CFRE 

VICE PRESIDENT & CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 


Kelly and Derek Nakamoto 

believe in miracles. Their ninemonth-old 

son, Jaden, is living 

proof. During open-heart surgery 

at six weeks old and weighing 

only seven pounds, Jaden’s congenital 

heart defect proved to be 

more complicated than the routine 

surgery his doctors had prepared 

for. The infant had a valve chord 

overlying the hole in his heart, 

an unexpected complication that 

doubled the length of his surgery, 

and required a surgical repair that 

may not have been possible without 

the surgical improvisation and 

skill of Dr. Sanjiv Gandhi at BC 

Children’s Hospital. 

Dr. Gandhi repaired the defects, 

and told Kelly and Derek that their 

son may require another open-heart 

surgery to fix a leaky valve. But at 

Jaden’s five-month checkup in April, 

the Nakamotos learned about a 

“little miracle.” In the months since 

his surgery, Jaden’s leaky valve 

had repaired itself and he won’t 

require another visit to the hospital 

until he is two and a half years old. 

Thanks to the surgical expertise at 

BC Children’s, Jaden is gaining 

weight, growing well and en route 

to becoming an inquisitive toddler.

GABRIELLE SANATANI 

Most pre-teens aren’t necessarily 

likely to have the goal of “helping 

other kids” as a top priority on their 

to-do list. But 12-year-old Gabrielle 

Sanatani is not like a lot of girls her 

age. She has grown up watching 

her father, Dr. Shubhayan Sanatani, 

a cardiologist at BC Children’s 

Hospital, save kids’ lives on a daily 

basis. Gabrielle and her older sister, 

Emma, have made fundraising a 

regular part of their birthday celebrations, 

asking friends and family 

to donate to the hospital in lieu of 

birthday gifts. 

Since her first birthday party fundraiser 

six years ago, Gabrielle has 

collected over $300 in donations 

for the hospital. Not only is Gabrielle 

generously giving up her birthday 

gifts for children at the hospital, 

she is also giving them her time. 

Gabrielle recently volunteered at the 

2011 Miracle Weekend in support 

of BC Children’s Hospital. This junior 

fundraiser, and over a hundred more 

like her, is helping to give kids in 

our province the excellent care they 

deserve.

future gift through their will, life insurance or trust 

arrangement as of December 31, 2010. We thank these 

generous individuals for their support.

WAYS OF GIVING 

There are many ways to make 

a gift to benefit BC’s kids. 

Bequest in Your Will 

A bequest is a direction in your 

will that a certain sum of money, 

a particular asset, or a portion of 

the estate is to be given to British 

Columbia’s Children’s Hospital 

Foundation (our legal name). 

Life Insurance 

Giving life insurance is a way of 

making a gift without depleting 

your estate or depriving your loved 

ones of other assets. At the end 

of your lifetime, the gift of the 

policy proceeds will be paid by the 

insurance company directly to BC 

Children’s Hospital Foundation. 

Depending on how the policy is 

structured, you may receive a tax 

benefit during your lifetime or your 

estate will receive the benefit. 

Flow-through Shares 

Publicly traded flow-through 

shares whose hold period has 

expired are an effective way to 

give. Flow-through shares – shares 

of Canadian mining, oil and gas 

companies – have unique tax 

incentives that, when combined 

with a charitable tax receipt, offer 

even bigger tax savings. 

Publicly Traded Securities 

Donating securities is the most 

effective way to give. If you own 

publicly traded securities that have 

increased in value and you decide 

to sell them, 50 per cent of the capital 

gain is taxable. However, if you 

donate these securities “in kind” to 

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, 

no tax is payable on the capital 

gain. The resulting tax credit from 

the donation of the securities will 

reduce taxes payable on other 

income. Making a gift of publicly 

traded securities to BC Children’s 

Hospital Foundation is easy to do. 

Please contact us for a transfer form 

to facilitate the process. 

RRSP/RRIF 

You can name BC Children’s 

Hospital Foundation as the direct 

beneficiary of the proceeds of 

the RRSP or RRIF or you can make 

a gift to BC Children’s Hospital 

Foundation in your will. The 

resulting tax credit may be used 

to offset the tax payable on the 

redemption of the proceeds of the 

retirement plan. 

Pledges
