What Is CKNW Kids’ Fund?
For the past 75 years, CKNW Kids' Fund has granted millions of dollars to support hundreds of thousands of children with a variety of challenges. Through the generosity of organizations, communities and people like you, we help families by providing grants for essential specialized medical equipment, therapies, and programs for at-risk youth.
Helping to create a positive impact in the life of a vulnerable child facing physical, mental and social challenges is a selfless act, and one that can take on many forms. From financial support that is so vital to our work, to lending your time and skills at one of our events – or one of your own – we are incredibly grateful for the kindness we receive from all of our supporters.
