Hot Toys for #HackingForTheHolidays
Here’s a look at some of the toys we are hacking as we head into the holiday season. (This list is not exhaustive, just a look at some of our favourites).
Hacking for the Holidays 2023
Last year, we raised $28,000 and delivered over 600 toys and 900 switches to children with disabilities across Canada. For 2023, we are shooting even higher. With a fundraising goal of $100,000, we are aiming to build 2,000 toys, switches, and video game joysticks, host over 100 events across all 10 provinces, and make sure that play is accessible to all kids with disabilities this holiday season.
Thank You for Helping Us Deliver Over 600 Adapted Toys!
We did it! Thanks to your support, we have hosted over 100 events, and delivered 540 adapted toys and 824 switches to children with disabilities across Canada.

“We’re just super grateful, and we appreciate all the time and effort that goes into it, because we just wouldn’t be able to access the kind of toys that Aubrey likes if this kind of organization didn’t exist,” says Carly, Aubrey’s mother.
McInnes Cooper and Law Students Adapt Toys for IWK Children’s Hospital
Every year, McInnes Cooper hosts a volunteer event for incoming law students at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University. This year, they tried something a little different than usual, partnering with Makers Making Change to hold a build event, with the adapted toys going to children with disabilities at the IWK Children’s Hospital.
