Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation®

Thanks to the Stollery, Kali was able to experience the second half of her chemotherapy treatments in a more comfortable environment.

The Stollery cares primarily for children living in Northern Alberta and parts of Western Canada. The hospital is decorated in fun colours and themes to make a child feel at home. There is a bed in every room for a parent to sleep overnight, and a television to make the stay more comfortable. Research, medical teams and equipment make this state of the art hospital the best place for a sick child to be. Part of the money raised at Hair Massacure helps fund the Stollery's pediatric oncology programs.

Make-a-Wish® Northern Alberta

Thanks to Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta, Kali was able to "pet a black and white dolphin" (her wish included a visit to SeaWorld where she was able to pet Shamu). Read about Kali's wish.

A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing and able to battle their life-threatening medical conditions. For many of them, it marks a turning point in their fight against their illnesses. Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta has one goal in the granting of each wish - to bring hope, strength and joy to a child with a life-threatening medical condition.

In 2011 Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta will grant 75 wishes to children in our community.
