Connor & Caleb's Holiday Extravaganza!
Donation protected
I organize a children’s party for the Inner City Pediatric Clinic at St. Michael's Hospital. I host this event in honour of my two beautiful twin boys that were born prematurely and left us too soon. "Connor & Caleb's Holiday Extravaganza" has been a huge hit with the clinic kids the past two years, so here we are again! The majority of the moms that use the Pediatric Clinic at St. Mike's for their children are homeless, HIV positive, addicted to drugs, etc. and many of the kids are in the custody of Children’s Aid Society or from families well below the poverty line.
Funds raised here will be used to fund the activities we have planned for the kids. We have Disney Princesses and Marvel superheroes coming to meet all the kids. Some activities on the agenda are decorating gingerbread houses, decorating cookies, build-a-stuffed toy, personalizing stockings, ornament making and so much more! We have also provided backpacks and school supplies in the past and would love to be able to do that again this year.
In addition to what we do for the kids, we also offer parents and caregivers grocery gift cards to help them through the holidays. If we meet or exceed our goal, some of the funds will also be used to purchase major grocery chain cards (i.e. Loblaws, Metro, No Frills, etc.) in $10, $20 or $25 denominations.
Every donation is helpful, no matter how big or small!
Here is one of my favourite pictures from last year's party - our heroes on the Toronto Police force captured The Grinch!
