OUR SUPPORTED CHARITIES FOR 2015
We are proud of our achievements and the growth achieved in the years since inception. We
have been successful due to the Foundation's 100% committed volunteers, the corporate
support and many individual supporters and participants.
A summary of this year’s selected charities:
The Starlight Children’s
Foundation Quebec
JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation)
The Missing Children’s
Network
is an organization dedicated to improving
the quality of life for seriously ill children and
their families. The Foundation provides an
impressive menu of both in-hospital and
outpatient programs and services. A leader
in delivering distractive entertainment
therapies, over 12,000 Canadian children
benefit from Starlight’s programs each month,
and over 5,000 Quebec children a month
are touched by Starlight.
JDRF is the leading global organization focused
on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Driven by
passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to
children, adolescents, and adults with this disease,
JDRF is the largest charitable supporter of T1D
research. The goal of JDRF is to improve the lives
of every person affected by T1D by accelerating
progress on the most promising opportunities for
curing, better treating, and preventing the disease.
JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of
partners who share this goal.
Since 1985, the Missing Children’s
Network has worked with thousands
of families of missing children who
struggle each day with their unexplainable
loss. Although we may never fully
understand the depth of the anguish
experienced by these families, we are
all sensitive to the nightmare that they live.
"Your child is missing!” Is a phrase that
frightens us all and one that no one is
ever prepared to for? These families need
our help and together we can make a real
difference in their lives.
They provide wonderful programs and
services to all of the children’s hospitals in
the Montreal area (Montreal Children’s,
St-Justine, Shriner’s, etc.). These include
Nintendo Wii Game Units,Pet Therapy, Clown
Therapy, Mad Science shows and many other
services just to mention a few of the numerous
programs they offer.
Research funded by JDRF has led to many landmark
advances in T1D science. We aggressively translate
discoveries into treatments, drugs, and therapies
that help people with T1D live healthier lives now,
while we work toward a cure. Currently, JDRF is
funding more than 50 human clinical trials, several
of which are in the advanced stages of clinical
testing needed before FDA approvals are required.
JDRF has always been dedicated to maintaining the
highest levels of efficiency to ensure that our time,
resources, and dollars can achieve the greatest
possible impact on the lives of people with T1D. We
have a solid track record of funding research efficiently
and effectively. More than 80 per cent of what JDRF
spends goes directly to research and research-related
education.
