Second Annual Holiday Mission - A SUCCESS!

TEAM BROTHER BEAR 2010 Annual Holiday Mission

Julia Taverner, Asst. Exexutive Director and Board Member, meets with staff from SickKidsFoundation and The Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.

Team Brother Bear continued our newest tradition by holding the Second Annual Holiday Mission. By collaborating with the amazing teams at the SickKids Foundation and Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, the team was able to help three families in need over the holiday season. The social work unit at the hospital referred these families and then as a team we were able to assess their needs and support them during the holiday season.

David Brownstone, Head of Social Work Unit at SickKids Hospital was responsible for working with the members of TBB to refer our 2010 recipients.

This projects main focus is to assist families in being able to concentrate on what matters most during the holidays – making new family memories and journeying alongside their sick child. By easing some of the financial burdens and unneeded stress of daily life, we were able to create a positive difference in the lives of these diagnosed children and their families.

We look forward to continuing this annual mission with the support of our donors and volunteers
