As one of the world's top pediatric hospitals, BC Children's is leading the way in shaping the future of care

We’re making bold advancements in personalized medicine that target the root cause of a child’s illness. We’re determined to put an end to chronic conditions like diabetes and asthma that rob kids of the joys of childhood. We’re helping to change the odds for the most aggressive cancers—and ensuring children and teens receive timely access to mental health care.

By participating in the Festival of Trees, you’re bringing us closer to achieving our most ambitious goals for children’s health. Your contribution will fast-track breakthrough research, equip the hospital with advanced technologies and ensure kids receive care tailored to their unique needs.
