researchers are leading scientific discoveries for a healthier future for all kids in B.C. and beyond
of our researchers are health-care professionals providing care for kids at BC Children’s Hospital
clinical studies are underway to develop new treatments and transform care
We need you today for a better tomorrow. Our kids are counting on it.

We believe there’s nothing we can’t do with your support. It can take years to turn scientific breakthrough into new interventions and treatments. Funding helps speed the pace of change. When given the resources, we can bring transformative therapies – and hope – out of the laboratory and into the clinic to save and improve children’s lives.
