BC Children?s is the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to the care of children. This means that one million kids? including some of the sickest and most seriously injured? count on the hospital for specialized care they often can?t receive anywhere else.

Last year, more than 93,000 patients visited the hospital, receiving care for everything from common

orthopaedic injuries to the most complex cancer cases. But BC Children?s is also so much more than a

hospital. As one of the few pediatric medical and teaching facilities in North America with an acute care

centre, research institute, mental health facility and soon, rehabilitation centre? all on a single campus? it's a

place where care is constantly being reimagined.

Sponsorship Advantages

There are a host of advantages that come with sponsorship. By showing your customers what you stand

for? the health and well-being of our province?s kids? they?re more likely to stand with you. In fact, research

has shown that people are more likely to support businesses that are associated with a cause close to

their hearts. Companies also see better employee engagement and morale when they?re connected to a

meaningful cause. And, when you join our quest to advance children?s health, you?re making a positive

difference in the communities you serve.

Our Brand

Since 1982, BC Children?s Hospital Foundation has been inspiring people and communities to join its quest

and enhance children?s health care. And over the years, we?ve built an incredibly strong brand by doing just

that. In fact, it has one of the highest recognition rates in the province. Nearly all British Columbians (95%)

have heard of BC Children?s Hospital Foundation and half (51%) are able to correctly identify the

Foundation?s logo unaided.
