Celebrate 150 years of SickKids
April 3 is our 150th birthday. That’s because April 3, 1875 is when Elizabeth McMaster and a group of Toronto women opened The Hospital for Sick Children. From humble beginnings, SickKids has grown to be the #1 publicly funded children's hospital in the world! In honour of 150 years of achievement at SickKids, we’re asking everyone to donate $150.
SickKids Birthday Balloons
Be on the lookout for 150 SickKids 150th Birthday Balloon Sculptures. You’ll find them in Toronto, across Canada, and beyond. Each one celebrates a milestone – from medical discoveries to strategic global partnerships – that has made SickKids the hospital it is today. Check out some significant milestone moments below.
