Sending Sunshine

Sending Sunshine runs sports and recreation programs for children facing serious illness, injury, or hardship across the Greater Toronto Area. The organization uses athletics and outdoor activities to build confidence, foster friendships, and improve physical health among young people navigating difficult circumstances. Programs range from adaptive sports clinics to camp experiences, all designed to give participants a sense of normalcy and joy. By connecting children with trained volunteers and community resources, Sending Sunshine creates opportunities for play and movement that might otherwise be unavailable. The charity operates from Mississauga and serves families who cannot afford recreational activities or whose children face physical limitations due to medical conditions.
