Fundraising
As 2021 draws to a close, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on our journey over the past year. At WeSaveTheKids, we have faced challenges, celebrated successes, and, most importantly, made a significant impact on the lives of children in need. This blog post highlights some of the key milestones and achievements of the year, showcasing the collective efforts of our supporters, volunteers, and partners.
A Record Year of Fundraising
One of our most significant achievements in 2021 was reaching new heights in fundraising. This funding directly contributed to essential programs, research initiatives, and resources needed for children with serious health conditions.
This success would not have been possible without community events, online campaigns, and the dedication of our volunteers. We organized several fundraising events throughout the year, including charity runs, bake sales, and virtual gaming tournaments. Each event brought us closer together and helped us achieve our collective goal.
Inspiring Stories of Change
Throughout the year, we had the privilege of sharing inspiring stories from families who benefited from our support. These personal accounts remind us why we do this work and the tangible difference our efforts make.
From children like Ava, who triumphed over serious health challenges, to Liam, who is now living cancer-free, these stories of resilience and hope inspire both our team and our supporters. Each narrative shows the power of community and the impact of every donation, no matter how small.
Expanding Our Volunteer Network
2021 was a fantastic year for growing our volunteer network. We welcomed over 30 new volunteers who brought fresh energy and ideas to our organization. Our community outreach programs flourished, encouraging more individuals to get involved and make a difference in children’s lives.
We held multiple volunteer training sessions that equipped new volunteers with the skills they needed. From event planning to patient support, our volunteers proved to be invaluable assets to our mission. Together, we made strides in raising awareness and supporting children and families facing health challenges.
Raising Awareness for Pediatric Health
Awareness is key to improving children’s health care, and in 2021, we launched several campaigns to engage our community. Our focus topics included mental health in children, the importance of research, and preventive care. By sharing information and resources, we empowered families to take charge of their health and well-being.
Through social media, newsletters, and community events, we reached a larger audience than ever before. Your active participation in sharing our content helped us spread the word and generate conversations about vital health issues affecting children today.
Collaborating with Partners
Partnerships were crucial to our success in 2021. We collaborated with local businesses, schools, and community organizations to maximize our impact. These partnerships allowed us to reach more people, host engaging events, and secure additional funding.
We want to thank our partners for their support and dedication to our cause. Together, we can achieve more and create lasting change for children in need.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
As we celebrate our accomplishments, we also set our sights on the future. In 2022, we aim to build on our successes and further expand our reach. Some of our goals include:
- Increasing our fundraising target by 30%: We will work hard to ensure more resources are available for SickKids Foundation.
- Launching new community programs: We hope to create engaging initiatives that promote health awareness and education.
- Enhancing our volunteer training: By equipping volunteers with new skills, we can improve our overall effectiveness and reach.
