Cause

Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island has invested in the health of Island kids for more than 90 years. Its Bear Essentials program is a family support program that assists with the costs of health-related travel and equipment for Island kids. The program is designed for families that struggle to afford the associated costs or that have barriers limiting their ability to access health care or equipment for their child. With your support, Bear Essentials reduces these barriers to improve health outcomes for children, youth, and their families across Vancouver Island and the surrounding islands.
