BC LIONS ROAR FOR THE KIDS!

On Friday October 4, 2024, we were able to announce an exciting partnership between the BC Lions and the CKNW Kids’ Fund - The BC Lions Roar for the Kids’ Mobility Fund. This 3-year fund (totalling $225,000) will support some very special kids in the province with their mobility and transportation issues, including power and manual wheelchairs, stair lifts, adaptive tricycles, customized equipment, standing frames, home adaptions, and vehicle adaption

Thank you to Amar Doman and the BC Lions for their continued support!


bc lions host 3rd annual family night for the cknw kids’ fund

On Friday, October 4, the BC Lions welcomed over 400 families to BC Place where they enjoyed a nail-biting game, with the BC Lions winning 32-15 over the Calgary Stampeders. This is the third year in a row that the BC Lions have generously hosted CKNW Kids’ Fund families from across the Lower Mainland.

In 2022, Amar Doman and the BC Lions hosted the first annual CKNW Kids' Fund Family Night which allowed families to attend a regular season game and dinner at no cost. This has quickly become an evening that families look forward to each year and we are so grateful to Amar and the BC Lions for their continued support.

Make It Monthly!

March 2024

We are excited to introduce our new monthly giving program and to kick it off we invite you to participate in our “Make It Monthly” campaign for the entire month of March. You can become a CKNW Kids' Fund "Superhero" for BC Kids by signing up to be a monthly donor here!

Did you know monthly donations are a wonderful way to make a big impact and help us achieve our goals for the year? For instance, a $20 monthly gift over the course of one year can purchase a 3-month supply of feeding syringes for a child who requires tube-fed nutritional support.

As an added bonus, for a limited time “Make It Monthly” can increase your impact! Throughout the month of March, visit CKNW Kids’ Fund and create a new monthly gift of $20 or more and CanadaHelps will make a one-time extra $20 donation to our charity!*

With your help, we can continue to ensure all children and youth with complex care needs in BC have equal access to medical equipment, therapies and fundamental resources for their health and wellbeing.

Please consider becoming a Superhero by setting up a new monthly gift of $20 and help support kids across the province.
