Stollery kids come from across Alberta and beyond. So do the people who fundraise for them.
As we continue to cele-BEAR-ate 25 years of excellence at the Stollery, we’re recognizing three of our longest-running rural fundraisers. Each organizer dreams up, plans, co-ordinates and runs their event with one goal: helping kids. And each one knows the Stollery from the inside.
💜 Talitha's Fight To Cure Pulmonary Hypertension - Talitha's Hope 4 A Cure
Nicole Moores and her daughter, Talitha, are marking the 14th year of Talitha’s Hope 4 A Cure. Talitha is a Stollery kid herself. She was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (PH) at age 3, and Nicole has been an amazing advocate for PH and the Stollery ever since. Every year, Nicole hosts a large event in Fort McMurray. She’s built incredible community support and raised more than $1.5 million for PH, all while making countless trips to the hospital with Talitha.
💗 Girls Day Out
For 14 years, Kristen Belland has brought women in Breton, Alberta together for Girls Day Out. She gathers unique silent auction items and makes sure every guest knows the impact of their donation. She’s faced forest fires near her property as well as her daughter’s own Stollery journey. Through it all, she’s kept the Stollery a priority.
⛳ Children's Charity Golf Classic
In Bonnyville, the Reid family’s Children’s Charity Golf Classic is celebrating year 16. Mark and Andrea’s daughter, Kennedy, was born with Costello syndrome, a rare genetic condition. She had many Stollery appointments and surgeries in her first 17 years. Mark and Andrea shared her story to bring their community together for kids like Kennedy. Kennedy is an adult now, but the Reid family remains committed to a cause near and dear to them: Stollery kids.
Kristen, Nicole and Talitha, and the Reid family: thank you for giving so much of yourselves to Stollery kids, year after year, while caring for your own. 💜
