Our Supporters

Nathan Toner was inspired to raise funds for the IWK Foundation after he and his wife, Ashlee, had to take their newborn son, Myles, to the IWK’s Emergency Department in December 2021.  

The Dude Run is an annual motorcycle ride that began in 2013 in memory of Reggie (The Dude) Dempsey, an avid motorcycle rider who passed away that year. The ride raises funds to help support children in need, including Maritime children who rely on specialized care at the IWK. 

When it comes to supporting the IWK, Whitetail Fisheries are lobstars!

For the past 20 years, Irving Oil has partnered with the IWK Foundation to offer the Fuel the Care program to families who frequently travel to the IWK for care.
