Originally aired June 12, 2025
Simply Supper‘s Lemonade Stand Day is BACK on Sunday, August 24 for another year of sweet fundraising for Stollery kids.
Proceeds from this year’s Simply Supper’s Lemonade Stand Day will support patient and family-centred care at the Stollery Children’s Hospital with the purchase of bedside caregiver cots.
When kids come to the Stollery, they don’t come alone. Parents and caregivers accompany children to the Hospital, and, often, these support people remain by their side for the duration of their stay. Currently, many of these caregivers must choose between spending their nights sleeping in chairs or making the difficult decision to leave their child’s side overnight.
The purchase of caregiver cots for multiple units at the Stollery will allow caregivers to stay close to their child, alleviating anxiety and creating a sense of security for both the caregiver and the young patient. The cots will also allow caregivers to collaborate closely with the health-care team during the child’s stay and reduce the financial burden on families who would need to find accommodations nearby.
Your support will make a life-changing difference for kids and their families who rely on the Stollery’s world-class care.
