History
With imagination, dedication and big hearts, these volunteers created Montreal-based fundraising events. Both large and small, these events have cultivated a very special group of volunteers who continuously challenge themselves to inspire, engage and give back. Not only has JFK created a local community among its members, but it also has impacted the community at large by helping children and their families throughout Montreal, as well as touching the lives of so many event participants, guests and corporate sponsors.
Impact
Current Campaign
The Current Challenge – Equipment Commitment 2017
The Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) is a leader in pediatric care and its Respiratory Medicine department plays a key role in this success. The Just for Kids Foundation’s 2017 campaign “A Breath For Life” will enable the families and young patients of the MCH to breathe a little easier.
This year’s goal is to raise funds to purchase $500,000 of high priority medical equipment to support the urgent needs of MCH departments including the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Respiratory Medicine department. This life-saving equipment will allow the world-class doctors at the MCH to treat an array of young, fragile patients: from helpless infants in their first and most critical moments of life to those suffering from chronic illnesses that affect breathing.
