A part of the funds it raised through the play was contributed to the SickKids Foundation, to support their noble initiatives. The foundation is raising funds for building a new hospital, to do research and to deliver sustainable healthcare worldwide.
Susie Morphet, Manager of Community Partnership of SickKids Foundation, said: “SickKids
wouldn’t be a world-renowned hospital if not for the support of the thousands of people who organize, attend, and support our fundraising events like Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur. The fact that the volunteers of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission have fun and enjoy fundraising says a lot about their character and fighting spirit. We look forward to a long-term partnership with Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (Canada), not only in fundraising but providing world-class medical facilities in remote areas.”
Pradip Shanghavi, President of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (Canada), applauded the initiative of SickKids Foundation and re-enforced continued support by Shrimad Rajchandra Mission towards building a new and well-equipped SickKids Hospital.
