BLOORVIEW KIDS FOUNDATION 08 – 09 REPORT TO DONORS
To Our Do<strong>no</strong>rs<br />
p Valerie McMurtry and Tom Muir.<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Foundation exists to<br />
raise funds for <strong>Bloorview</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Rehab.<br />
For over a century, <strong>Bloorview</strong> has been<br />
dedicated to enhancing the lives of<br />
children with disabilities and their<br />
families. It has grown to be the largest<br />
and most comprehensive children’s<br />
rehabilitation teaching hospital in<br />
Canada, and a global leader in the field<br />
of childhood disability.<br />
When you entrust <strong>Bloorview</strong> <strong>Kids</strong><br />
Foundation with a donation, we<br />
commit to ensuring your investment<br />
achieves its objective by having a high<br />
calibre Board of Directors, an<br />
outstanding management team, an<br />
excellent relationship with <strong>Bloorview</strong><br />
<strong>Kids</strong> Rehab, and a solid corporate<br />
governance model.<br />
It has been a remarkably difficult year,<br />
characterized by the worst eco<strong>no</strong>mic<br />
and financial market collapse since the<br />
Great Depression. The sharp decline in<br />
equity values adversely affected<br />
endowment levels and philanthropic<br />
giving throughout North America.<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Foundation met the<br />
challenges of the year by growing our<br />
do<strong>no</strong>r base, maintaining the integrity<br />
of our endowment funds, and meeting<br />
100% of our grant commitment to<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Rehab.<br />
We have three retiring Board members<br />
this year: Ron Jones, Deborah<br />
Alexander and Ron Kimel. We thank<br />
each of them for their time, support<br />
and guidance. We welcome three new<br />
Board members this year: Charlie Sims,<br />
President & CEO of Mackenzie<br />
Financial Corporation; Jason Smith,<br />
President & CEO of Solidifi Inc.; and<br />
Giorgina Bigioni, former VP Group<br />
Publisher of St. Joseph Media/Key<br />
Publishers.<br />
On behalf of the entire <strong>Bloorview</strong><br />
community, we would like to thank<br />
you, our do<strong>no</strong>rs, for your unwavering<br />
support. As the stories on the following<br />
pages attest to, you have greatly<br />
enhanced the lives of children with<br />
disabilities and their families.<br />

The Coriats’ Journey<br />
Acquiring the ingredients for a bright and independent future<br />
Jessica Coriat wasn’t supposed to walk<br />
or talk, much less grow up to be an<br />
independent, outgoing teenager. But<br />
that was before she came to <strong>Bloorview</strong>.<br />
Jessica has cerebral palsy which affects<br />
her mobility and her vision. She’s had<br />
several surgeries and too much therapy<br />
in her young life. But thanks to <strong>Bloorview</strong>,<br />
her orthopedic surgeon, and her family,<br />
she’s thriving.<br />
and there are <strong>no</strong> other siblings to<br />
oversee her future <strong>Bloorview</strong>’s<br />
re<strong>no</strong>wned Life Skills and Transitions<br />
Programs teach the skills that enable<br />
children to grow up ready to lead<br />
active, independent lives, and just may<br />
be the most life saving of all.<br />
Fund. Says David Coriat, “Life Skills<br />
and Transitions Programs are some of<br />
the most important programs for kids<br />
with disabilities, but these programs<br />
don’t get government funding. I am<br />
one of the lucky parents who can afford<br />
to pay for services, but there are many<br />
families who are <strong>no</strong>t as fortunate.<br />
Our donation is a way to say thank you<br />
to <strong>Bloorview</strong> and to help other kids<br />
like Jess.”<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong> is a home away from home<br />
for Jessica, who first came here for an<br />
assessment when she was 1 year old.<br />
Now she’s 18, and participating in<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong>’s Skills for Transition<br />
Program, which coaches teens like her<br />
in life skills, such as using public transit<br />
and preparing meals.<br />
For parents like the Coriats, who only<br />
have one child, it is perhaps the most<br />
pervasive worry – what will happen to<br />
our child when we’re <strong>no</strong> longer here<br />
p Jessica and her parents.<br />
Jessica has come a long way since she<br />
first arrived at <strong>Bloorview</strong>. Her parents,<br />
David and Lynn, want to make sure<br />
other kids get the same opportunities.<br />
That’s why they pledged $1 million to<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong> last year to establish The<br />
Coriat Family Life Skills and Transitions<br />
It’s exceptional generosity like the<br />
Coriats’ that propels <strong>Bloorview</strong>’s<br />
mission on behalf of kids with<br />
disabilities.<br />
And what’s next for Jessica She says<br />
learning how to prepare meals is just a<br />
beginning. Apart from meeting new<br />
people, Jessica loves <strong>no</strong>thing better<br />
than watching the Food Network.<br />
Jessica plans to become a chef.<br />

The power of philanthropy is<br />
awe-inspiring.<br />
Walking through <strong>Bloorview</strong>’s hallways,<br />
you can see it. It’s in every thoughtful<br />
detail of our accessible, light-filled and<br />
child-friendly facility, in the caring staff<br />
and, especially, in the lively faces of<br />
children. Children like 8-year-old Naz,<br />
who attends the <strong>Bloorview</strong> School.<br />
Naz is a happy, caring little boy who<br />
loves to laugh. Naz has a spinal<br />
deformity which affects his ability to<br />
move his head and neck and use his<br />
arms and hands. Naz is bright and<br />
articulate, but his physical limitations<br />
make it difficult for him to use a pen or<br />
pencil. Without the help of <strong>Bloorview</strong><br />
therapists and teachers, and Word Q, a<br />
specialized writing software developed<br />
at <strong>Bloorview</strong>, Naz would <strong>no</strong>t be able to<br />
work at his grade level.<br />
BMO Financial Group is one of the<br />
exceptional philanthropic partners<br />
who supports the urgent needs of the<br />
hospital, helping us transform the lives<br />
of kids like Naz. With a $450,000 gift<br />
during the capital campaign, BMO<br />
helped to make our dream of a new<br />
home a reality. With a further donation<br />
to outfit the BMO Financial Group<br />
School Library with state-of-the-art<br />
tech<strong>no</strong>logy, BMO demonstrated their<br />
commitment to education for all<br />
children, including those with<br />
disabilities that make learning a<br />
challenge.<br />
Last year BMO was the presenting<br />
sponsor for our gala fundraising<br />
celebration and dinner – An Evening of<br />
Possibility. Tom Flynn, BMO’s Chief<br />
Risk Officer, Vice-Chair <strong>Bloorview</strong> <strong>Kids</strong><br />
Rehab and Gilles Ouellette, President<br />
and CEO of BMO’s Private Client<br />
Group, co-chaired this spectacular<br />
evening, which raised over $425,000 to<br />
support the treatments, tech<strong>no</strong>logies,<br />
therapies and real-world programs that<br />
are impacting children at home, across<br />
the country and around the world.<br />
According to Mr. Ouellette, “BMO is<br />
proud of its strong partnership with<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong> and believes its support will<br />
enrich the lives of children with<br />
disabilities and their families.”<br />
Naz’s face lights up when he’s working<br />
on the school library computer. That’s<br />
the power of philanthropy.<br />

A community spins its magic<br />
A worthy workout<br />
On June 26th, over 400 people from<br />
Toronto’s financial district pushed<br />
themselves past their <strong>limits</strong> at the 9th<br />
annual Bike for Tykes fundraiser for<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong>. Participants pedaled<br />
stationary bikes in the TD courtyard to<br />
the tune of upbeat music, and raised<br />
over $200,000 for kids like Sequoiah.<br />
Ten-year-old Sequoiah k<strong>no</strong>ws a thing<br />
or two about physical endurance.<br />
Sequoiah has cerebral palsy and has<br />
been in and out of <strong>Bloorview</strong> for years.<br />
“Physiotherapy,” she says, “is hard<br />
work.” But thanks to <strong>Bloorview</strong>’s<br />
dedicated therapists and her own<br />
stamina, Sequoiah is walking, and she<br />
has decorated her leg braces with pictures<br />
of one of her favorite heroines – herself!<br />
<strong>Bloorview</strong>’s staff is committed to<br />
working <strong>wonder</strong>s with kids like<br />
Sequoiah. Everyday our therapists,<br />
clinicians, and scientists help children<br />
t Sequoiah and friends at the 2008 Bike for Tykes event.<br />
with physical and developmental<br />
disabilities to do more and go further –<br />
<strong>no</strong>t only to become physically stronger,<br />
but to learn the social and life skills<br />
that all kids need to lead healthy,<br />
active lives.<br />
The seven members of the Bike for<br />
Tykes Committee are <strong>no</strong>t parents of<br />
kids with disabilities. Yet, for the past<br />
several years they’ve pulled together<br />
this extraordinary event, raising over<br />
$500,000 in total for <strong>Bloorview</strong> and<br />
making success stories like Sequoiah’s<br />
possible.<br />
Thanks to their commitment, kids like<br />
Sequoiah are able to lead ordinary,<br />
extraordinary lives, just like any<br />
other kid.<br />
According to the committee members,<br />
they get a lot of positive feedback about<br />
Bike for Tykes from participants who<br />
say it’s meaningful and fun. But the<br />
p Bike for Tykes crew opening the TSX.<br />
best feedback is from kids like<br />
Sequoiah and their families.<br />
These days Sequoiah is busy being a<br />
kid. Her favorite sports are soccer and<br />
basketball and she loves to play<br />
Nintendo Wii.<br />

WB Foundation raises an eyebrow<br />
The <strong>small</strong>est gesture makes a world of difference<br />
Dr. Tom Chau has been called a<br />
‘wizard’. Corvin and his parents<br />
k<strong>no</strong>w why.<br />
Corvin is an adorable 9-year-old with<br />
curly blonde hair and an infectious<br />
smile. Corvin has cerebral palsy, a<br />
condition which affects his voice and<br />
the movement of his arms and legs.<br />
Corvin’s ability to speak is limited to<br />
two-word sentences and, because of<br />
his physical challenges, he is unable to<br />
use a conventional communications<br />
aid. It seemed that Corvin would never<br />
be able to express himself fully – until<br />
p The WB Foundation Board visiting <strong>Bloorview</strong>.<br />
he began to work with Dr. Chau and his<br />
team at the <strong>Bloorview</strong> Research Institute.<br />
A re<strong>no</strong>wned biomedical engineer and<br />
Canada Research Chair, Dr. Chau is<br />
pioneering communication solutions<br />
for kids like Corvin, <strong>no</strong>vel solutions that<br />
are based on subtle body processes like<br />
heartbeat and skin temperature, or on<br />
tiny physical movements like a blink of<br />
the eye, a thrust of the tongue, or, as in<br />
Corvin’s case, a lift of the eyebrows.<br />
For Corvin, Dr. Chau’s team developed<br />
a prototype switch connected to a<br />
computer that Corvin can turn on by<br />
simply raising his eyebrows. Corvin is<br />
<strong>no</strong>w playing video games, and,<br />
eventually, he will be able to type.<br />
Dr. Chau believes in the unique<br />
potential of each child. He is committed<br />
to unlocking that potential. From that<br />
commitment came his vision for the<br />
Infinity Centre for Access In<strong>no</strong>vations –<br />
the world’s first interdisciplinary centre<br />
dedicated to discovering accessible and<br />
affordable tech<strong>no</strong>logies that allow kids<br />
like Corvin to communicate – kids who<br />
can’t speak or move.<br />
But there is more wizardy going on<br />
here. In 2008, the WB Family Foundation,<br />
a private foundation set up by the<br />
Beamish family, donated $1 million to<br />
the Infinity Centre for Access In<strong>no</strong>vations.<br />
Bob and Marilyn Beamish, their<br />
children, Brian, Heather and David,<br />
and the rest of the WB Foundation<br />
Directors were impressed by Dr. Chau’s<br />
vision for the Infinity Centre. “The WB<br />
Foundation believes that all children<br />
should have access to communication.<br />
We are thrilled to be supporting this<br />
revolutionary project,” says Heather<br />
Beamish.<br />
This is the magic of philanthropy.<br />
Just ask Corvin.<br />
