The IWK Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that raises funds to support IWK Health—the largest pediatric hospital and trauma centre in Atlantic Canada. IWK Health is also one of only two health centres in Canada that cares for both women and children.
As the primary fundraising partner with IWK Health, we want to ensure Maritime women, children, and families needing the advanced and specialized care of IWK Health have access to the highest level of care possible.
The funds raised through the generosity of our donor community help fund the IWK’s areas of greatest need, including purchasing new and advanced medical equipment, funding leading-edge research, and upgrading care spaces and technology.
Our mission
- To change what it is to be blind through innovative programs and powerful advocacy that enable Canadians impacted by blindness to live the lives they choose.
Our Commitments
Increase understanding and dispel misconceptions
Lack of awareness about the realities of life with blindness and sight loss is the underlying barrier that creates most of the issues for the people we serve across all parts of their lives – issues from lack of employment opportunities to accessibility barriers to unequal education experiences to social exclusion.
Remove barriers and create safe journeys
People with sight loss continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments.
Support parents and kids in and out of the classroom
Kids who are blind or have low vision aren’t receiving the classroom support they need to excel, while parents who are blind are often unable to participate in their children’s education, as assignments, report cards, and other critical communications aren’t provided in accessible formats. At the same time, parents report a distinct lack of awareness about sight loss among medical professionals, which leads to a lack of information, resources, and guidance.

Driven by Terry’s courage and determination, the Terry Fox Foundation collaborates with and inspires people around the world to support and fundraise for bold, extraordinary research to end cancer.
Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope.
Terry’s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometres (26 miles) every day for 143 days.
The annual Terry Fox Run has become a fall tradition in Canada, with more than 650 communities, big and small, urban and rural, English and French, fundraising for cancer research.
Becoming a Terry Fox volunteer is an incredibly rewarding experience, not only will you be directly responsible for sharing Terry’s message of hope, courage and determination, you will be giving back to your community. Our Terry Fox Runs are 100% volunteer run, so we are always on the lookout for passionate Terry Foxers to help us.
