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 />

Investment banking at its best<br />

W here the returns are infinite<br />

p 2009 Recipes for Possibility calendar.<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 />
