What is Capes for Kids?

Capes for Kids is a fun, friendly event where we encourage everyone to wear their cape and raise money to support kids with disabilities at Holland Bloorivew Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. Now in it's 10th year, Capes for Kids has raised nearly $8 million dollars funding vital research, programs, and services that will increase access to pediatric disability care across Canada.

Together, we can build capacity across the health care system, move innovations into clinical care faster than ever before, and take new models of care to greater heights.
