Welcome to Santa Social 2026! We're Fundraising in Support of SickKids!
All funds raised will go to SickKids Child Life Department, to help infants, children, youth and families cope with the stress and uncertainty of hospitalization.
They provide therapeutic play programs which are designed to reduce stress and help patients cope with hospitalization. This includes:
- Helping prepare children for medical and surgical procedures.
- Providing emotional support to patients during times of stress.
- Working with other health-care teams to help children.
- Using symbolic activities to elicit patient concerns about the hospital experience.
- Helping to clarify any concerns about the intended treatment plan.
- Providing family support and education.
- Providing diversional opportunities for normative play.
Funds to be allocated to SickKids Child Life, in loving memory of Ellie Butler.
