Andrew Hromyk (dad), Kai, Chase and Linda Getz (mom) present their birthday proceeds.
JOIN THE SUNNY BEAR BIRTHDAY CLUB Kai and Chase Hromyk know what it means to give back. Over the past three years, they have donated more than $10,000 to BC Children’s Hospital – money that they collected by requesting donations instead of gifts for their birthdays. And when you’re four and five years old, that’s a big deal! Kai and Chase’s mom, Linda, says sharing the boys’ birthday celebrations with BC Children’s Hospital is a way to teach them the values of compassion and generosity. Through the Sunny Bear Birthday Club – the Foundation’s birthday giving program – many more aspiring young fundraisers are also choosing to forgo their presents and are collecting donations for the hospital. With support from kids like Kai and Chase, BC Children’s Hospital is giving children across the province an even brighter future.
