Donations make it possible for us to come up with new charitable initiatives every year, which means we reach more families and children in need with our programs. Give to MDS and see the difference that’s made in the life of a child or family facing the challenges that come with special needs or diagnosis of a serious illness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60008ae36186cd0e82a157e9/1611766193670-48Z3SURGHECGEYSVX1KP/2021+playground+3.jpeg Get Involved - Refer a child.

when I realized that every community is in need of its own advocates. We began as a small group of volunteers who understood that being there for children and families facing special needs or the diagnosis of a life threatening illness was special. For over 15 years, our amazing team of SMILE ANGELS has brought love and light into the lives of these children and their families- something I hope we continue to do for as long as we possible can. Our astounding community continues to grow and I welcome you to be a part of it! https://www.milliondollarsmiles.ca/forms daily 0.75 2023-10-18 https://www.milliondollarsmiles.ca/programs daily 0.75 2023-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60008ae36186cd0e82a157e9/1612811467003-R8SKFIF43Q8V7S7ZKZMI/2021%252Bplayground%252B2.jpg Programs - Playground Builds Every summer, the SMILE ANGELS graciously suit up in their MDS tees, slap on the sunscreen and travel across the city to build playgrounds for children with special needs or a serious illness, who are often unable to use public playgrounds. All children should have access to their very own playground and experience the positive impact of outdoor play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60008ae36186cd0e82a157e9/1612811284078-BO1EFE9T3760YFV3IY14/2021%252Bbears.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60008ae36186cd0e82a157e9/1612811514699-LENVQRXNF8DY5ITNWDIU/2021%2Bhalloween.jpg Programs - Halloween Gala MDS children and their parents are the highlight of our events. Their inspirational stories bring the realities of childhood illness and special needs to the forefront of everything we do. They offer an education on why we need to build awareness, where we should be placing our energies to find funding for cures and supportive programming and how we can stay inspired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60008ae36186cd0e82a157e9/1612811696517-1FU6K8J7J8Z77YEH42T1/2021%2Brun%2Bfundrasier%2B.jpg Programs - Fundraising We encourage you to plan a fundraiser of your very own! Sign-up for approval by our executive team.
