To kick off #HackingForTheHolidays 2023, we partnered with HSBC Bank Canada to host a build event on September 18th. HSBC Bank Canada employees from Toronto and Vancouver volunteered their time to adapt 35 toys that will be donated to local hospitals and kids with disabilities.
We are proud to announce the release of four OpenAT joystick devices that were developed as part of the Government of Canada’s Assistive Technology Program.
On Friday, our Makers Making Change team hosted our BC Solutions team for a build event, making switches and adapting toys. It was a great team building event, and best of all, the toys will go to local kids with disabilities as part of our #HackingForTheHolidays campaign.
Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program is launching their second annual #HackingForTheHolidays campaign to make sure that play is accessible to all kids with disabilities this holiday season.
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.
