Join the SickKids 150 Legacy Challenge
As we celebrate SickKids 150th birthday, we are inviting you to join the SickKids 150 Legacy Challenge: ensuring future generations of children can receive world-class care for the next 150 years and beyond.
When you disclose that you’ve included SickKids Foundation in your will, you help create transformative healing journeys like Ezra’s — whose life was saved through innovative treatments when he faced a rare immune disorder as a newborn, and who now thrives as a spirited toddler.
Between now and December 31, 2025, when you confidentially disclose your legacy gift to SickKids Foundation, a generous anonymous donor will unlock a matched gift to SickKids Foundation of $10,000* to allow SickKids to continue leading the way in paediatric health care today.

How the Legacy Challenge Works
- Step 1: Include a gift for SickKids Foundation
- Step 2: Disclose your gift to unlock an immediate donation from a generous anonymous donor
- Step 3: See your benefits
Once you have made a gift in your will, trust or through a beneficiary designation to SickKids Foundation, you are eligible to join the challenge! Making this type of legacy gift is an easy process that costs you nothing now and makes a lasting difference.
Here are two popular ways supporters make legacy gifts to SickKids Foundation:
Gifts in a will
A gift in your will or trust is easy to establish; it can be changed at any time and for any reason and it creates your legacy with SickKids, providing a more inclusive world. Speak to your lawyer or use an online will company to draft or revisit your existing will. All you need is a few simple words.
Gifts by beneficiary designation
It’s easy to set up a legacy gift through a beneficiary designation in your retirement assets, insurance policy, or other assets. Simply complete a beneficiary designation form from your fund’s administrator. When you do, you are taking a powerful step towards creating a brighter future.
When you share details about your gift, you activate an immediate donation from a generous anonymous donor to SickKids Foundation – $10,000* while funds last.
