Gift a Bear, Share a Smile

This Eid, help the Alisha Jilani Foundation deliver Build-A-Bears to children facing cancer and other complex medical issues in hospitals across Canada. Your donation of $20 provides a patient with a warm "hug," while $40 ensures their siblings (often the forgotten heroes of the journey) are also remembered. Donate here.

In partnership with Build-a-Bear, we are delivering smiles to families at these hospitals:

• BC Children's Hospital (Vancouver)

• Windsor Pediatric Unit

• London Children's Hospital

• St. Joseph's Healthcare (Hamilton)

• CHEO (Ottawa)

• Montreal Children's Hospital
