SASKATOON — Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, as the merriest season begins, kicks off its annual Making Spirits Bright campaign, which aims to spread joy and make a lasting impact on the lives of Saskatchewan’s kids, expectant mothers and the families of all who require care at JPCH.
Making Spirits Bright, now in its 12th year, showcases meaningful ways to make a difference in the ‘Little Book of BIG Gift Ideas,’ according to the media release issued on Wednesday. People can support symbols of courage for children receiving care, help children celebrate special milestones during their hospital stay, fund innovative technology that provides families with answers when they need them most, help those facing financial barriers and more.
Donations to Making Spirits Bright will have double the impact, thanks to the generosity of Thrive Wealth Management, which will match gifts up to $75,000, the JPCH Foundation said.
Thrive Wealth Management Vice President Kelly McNeill said they are proud to continue partnering with the JPCH Foundation to support children and families across Saskatchewan.
“Through the Making Spirits Bright campaign, we’re matching donations up to $75,000 to double the impact of every gift. We’re honoured to help make this season a little brighter for Saskatchewan’s children,” said McNeill.
JPCH Foundation CEO Troy Davies thanked Thrive Wealth Management for their continued support, as the holidays can be difficult for some families whose children are in the hospital.
“Making Spirits Bright reminds us that even in the hardest moments, our community’s compassion shines through, bringing comfort, joy, and hope to every child who needs it most. Thanks to the incredible support from Thrive Wealth Management, every dollar donated will go twice as far, with gifts matched up to $75,000. Together, we can brighten the season for Saskatchewan children, moms-to-be and their families,” said Davies.
