Policaro Foundation
BUILDING A BRIGHTER, HEALTHIER FUTURE ONE SMILE AT A TIME
The Policaro Foundation was established in 2018 to support the health and wellness of our most vulnerable; the children. Through the Foundation, the Policaro Group has been able to support a wide variety of causes, including, but not limited to, local food banks, an annual Holiday Toy Drive and annual Heart Month campaign, regular donations to hospitals such as the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, the Brampton Civic Hospital and Grand River Hospital in Kitchener-Waterloo. However, the Foundation is best known for its long-term involvement with SickKids. In 2018, the Policaro Fetal Cardiac Fellowship was established to treat infants with heart conditions. This fellowship will meet a critical need for the Labatt Family Heart Centre by building capacity for Canada’s primary fetal cardiac diagnosis and treatment centre. Trainees who gain experience at SickKids through the fellowship, will go on to work in pediatric heart centres in Ontario and worldwide, providing better care and disease management for children across the globe.
To grow stronger as a community and see positive change, we believe we must all do our part to give back.
Our 2023 Policaro Foundation Track Experience resulted in a $236,787.60 donation to SickKids, bringing our grand total to over $1 Million since establishing the Policaro Foundation.
