From April 19 to May 31, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar by generous digital match sponsors (up to a total maximum of $100,000). When you give today, your contribution is immediately doubled—your gift goes directly toward purchasing the critical equipment that makes care possible, while the matched funds help meet the IWK’s other most urgent needs. Give now and make twice the difference while this match is available.
Mark your calendars! The IWK Foundation’s biggest fundraising event—the IWK Telethon for Children—kicks off with a special entertainment-filled broadcast on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tune in to enjoy performances by Amelia Parker, Declan and Ryker, Kim Dunn, NSHJ FUNK UNIT and Wolf Castle.
The IWK Telethon broadcast returns on Sunday, May 31, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This cherished Maritime tradition will air live on CTV Atlantic, sharing inspirational and heartwarming stories from IWK families across our region.
The Telethon offers a powerful glimpse into the specialized care your IWK provides to countless children and families every day. These stories highlight the life-changing impact of donor generosity—and remind us why support for the IWK is so essential.
This emotion-filled live broadcast will also shine a spotlight on longtime IWK community supporters, celebrating the meaningful and unforgettable ways they help make world-class care possible for Maritime families.
