BC Children's Hospital Foundation

A group of committed volunteers from all areas of the industry make up the Real Estate, Construction and Development Committee, under the Building for Kids (BFK) brand. BFK’s goal is to spread awareness of the work being done at the hospital, but also reaching out to colleagues and contacts to help raise much needed funds for BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

Currently only about 40 percent of the 95,000 children and youth that experience mental health issues, actually get this care – that number needs to change. We know that early intervention is the key to preventing a lifetime of struggles, and most mental health challenges begin around the age of 18. With your help, we can better prepare children, parents, caregivers and physicians with coping strategies for more positive outcomes. 

The committee is rallying together to raise funds for the Center for Mindfulness at BC Children's Hospital. We ask everyone to reflect on their own challenges, or someone near and dear to you; who could have benefited with the appropriate skills to manage daily stresses and anxiety, and ask for your help to ensure every child in BC has access to these resources.

Thank you for your support!
