Help A Child Smile is inviting our families, supporters and community to join us for our Bowl-A-Thon on Saturday, April 29. We will be holding separate events in Brantford, Hamilton and St. Catharines. Proceeds from our Bowl-A-Thon will go directly to our programs and supports for children and families affected by childhood cancer.
Help A Child Smile is a local volunteer-run charity supporting families with children treated for cancer at McMaster Children’s Hospital. For over three decades we have provided free family activities and events for our families to enjoy! It’s a chance for families to spend time together making new and fun memories. In addition to our regular events, we have expanded our programs to provide paid hospital parking for the duration of a child’s treatment, gas cards, welcome packs, fertility banking and more.
