SickKids launched their annual fundraiser on Monday with a summer camp in the downtown core.
The front lawn of the children’s hospital, near University Avenue and Gerrard Street, was covered with green grass, tents and a campfire to launch the Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure.
Even though it’s March, staff and patients participated in a marshmallow toss, three-legged race and other summer activities to draw attention to the fundraiser.
The actual event will take place on Sept. 28. The Great Camp Adventure is an up to 20 kilometre challenge-by-choice adventure walk, starting and ending at Fort York.
Those wishing to sign up can register a team – called a cabin to keep with the camping theme – at Monday’s event.
The money raised will go to SickKids Possibilities Fund, for the hospital’s most urgent needs.
