McMaster Children’s Hospital. Their membership now exceeds 1500 families. They
provide welcome packages which include parking passes, gas cards, meal vouchers
and many more in-hospital supports. And because the diagnosis of childhood cancer
affects the entire family, they organize and fund day trips the whole family can enjoy
together. Some of the favourites are Wonderland, African Lion Safari, Disney on Ice,
Bingemans Big Splash, Niagara Go-Karting and Mini-Putt, a Fishing Derby, Safari
Niagara, SkyZone Trampoline Park, a family picnic, and a Christmas party.
