Young Stollery fundraiser is making a lasting impact
As we celebrate 25 years of the Stollery this month, we want to recognize one of our youngest fundraisers making a huge difference in our community.
Liam has been a Stollery Superstar raising money for Stollery kids just like him for more than 12 years!
At four years old, Liam’s family set up three jars for him to keep track of his money and learn about finances. The jars were labeled Give, Save and Spend. When it came time for Liam to donate from his Give jar, he chose the Stollery. Although he hadn’t been to the Stollery himself, Liam knew what it was like to take medicine that didn’t taste so good. So, he decided he would give to the Stollery so they could buy better tasting medicine for kids who needed it!
Now almost 16 years old, Liam’s hosting his 12th annual Stollery fundraiser. He’s become known for combining his passion for making bread with his dedication to fundraising for kids’ health care, selling his delicious loaves over the Thanksgiving weekend and collecting the money (still in a jar!) all these years later.
At last year’s annual Stollery Superstars Party, Liam received a top fundraising award: 2025 Stollery Superstar of the Year! His advice to other kids who want to make a difference and raise money for Stollery kids:
“If you’re going to fundraise, make sure it’s something you love doing! I love making bread. I love the smell, kneading it, spending time with my family to make something delicious and knowing that people are eating my bread as part of their holiday weekend.”
Do you have a kiddo who wants raise money for the Stollery and become a Stollery Superstar like Liam?
