Stollery stories
At the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation we raise money in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital, educate the community on the Hospital’s needs and thank our donors for their generosity. Meet Stollery kids from backyards across Alberta and learn how donor dollars have been making a difference at the Stollery below.
In the summer of 2021, we started on a journey to create a Stollery song, a song that showcases everything Stollery families represent to us and our community.
