From September to December for our fifth annual Hacking for the Holidays campaign, presented by the Air Canada Foundation (new window), we’re engaging 1,000 volunteers — students, corporate partners, and other community members — to help us adapt and donate 2,500 toys and switches to families and clinicians all over Canada.
When students at Gretna Green School’s Gator Designs extracurricular maker club learned they would be building switches for kids with disabilities for our Hacking for the Holidays campaign, they felt inspired to take it one step further.
We’re looking to raise $200,000 to spread the joy of play this holiday season. Every dollar counts — many battery-operated toys can be adapted with just $5 of parts, while $60 can cover the whole cost of a toy and switch. This year, give the gift of play.
Thanks to your support of our Hacking for the Holidays campaign, we were able to deliver adapted toys to places like The Centre for Child Development.
Thanks to your support, we have hosted 84 events, engaging over 2,600 volunteers to adapt 2,058 toys and switches for kids with disabilities across Canada.
