Thank you to our Corporate & Community Partners!

Alberta Lottery, Community Initiatives Program (CIP)

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the generous support received from the Alberta Gaming, Community Initiatives Program. Their donation is being used to purchase equipment for our Equipped for Life - equipment loan pool for people residing in Alberta, who are living with a neuromuscular disorder. The donation is improving both the mobility and the quality of life for people and their families in this province. The equipment is providing opportunities for education, employment and a higher level of community involvement.

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the continued support of BC Gaming. Their funding provides essential services which enable us to achieve our mission. Just some of the areas where their funding makes an immeasurable difference is our Equipped for Life Program which provides equipment to children, youth and adults; education services including community forums, workshops and disability education programs; and supporting advocacy and social action. 

BC Gaming has been a generous supporter of our organization since 1991. The difference they have made in the lives of families affected by neuromuscular disorders has been tremendous. Thank you!

BC Human Resources Management Association (BCHRMA) hosts an Annual Provincial Charity Golf Tournament and an annual Christmas event. Silent auctions and 50/50 draws at both events benefit the Bridges to the Future Program.

BCHRMA is an incredible supporter of Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Thank you BCHRMA!

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the BMO Employee Charitable Foundation towards our Equipped for Life equipment program.  This funding will assist us to purchase essential mobility equipment for our clients, reduce the waiting time and reduce the financial burden to our families across BC.

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the support of the Calgary Foundation in support of our Community Spirit Program.  This initiative will provide opportunities for family networking, peer support, education forums and a family recreational retreat weekend to our clients in the Calgary and surrounding area.  This program will assist us in creating an inclusive environment for people with neuromuscular disorders and provide opportunities for involvement in the community.

Thank you to the MCSS for their generous support of our Manitoba Community Spirit Family Program which aims to teach understanding, acceptance and inclusion of children, youth and adults with physical disabilities in the community and school system.  The focus is on educational workshops and participative forums.

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the RBC Foundation towards our Bridges to the Future youth program and educational workshops.   This program allows youth between the ages of 15 to 24 achieve success throughout their transition to adulthood.  Workshops highlight learning in areas such as finances, independent living and setting goals.  

Thank you to the generous support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities for their support of our Children’s Mobility Equipment Program.  These funds will go directly to assisting children under the age of 21 in obtaining equipment to increase their independence and mobility in their communities.   Equipment not only enhances the quality of life but lifts financial burdens from families and increases a child’s ability to participate fully in their daily life.

Thomas Sills Foundation Inc has thoughtfully supported the Equipped for Life program in Manitoba.  Equipped for Life provides equipment for children, youth, and adults with physical disabilities who are affected by a neuromuscular disorder.  The goal of this program is to increase their capacity so that these individuals can be engaged in both business & community. The Thomas Sill Foundation has a special interest in providing funding for rural and northern Manitoba.

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund in partnership with the Vancouver Foundation.  This funding will support our youth in transition through a series of educational workshops throughout 2011.  This support will ensure that our Bridges to the Future program remains available to our youth and supports them in achieving their education, career and independence goals into adulthood.

Thank you to the VDRC for its ongoing support of our Bridges to the Future Victoria program.  With their support and collaboration we are able to offer assistance and one on one coaching to youth in Victoria and surrounding area.  Their generosity has been greatly appreciated!

Muscular Dystrophy Canada gratefully acknowledges the generous support of The Winnipeg Foundation towards our Manitoba Community Spirit Family Program & Educational Workshops.  This funding will go along way in teaching understanding, acceptance and inclusion of children and youth with a physical disability in the school system and community at large.  With presentations given in Winnipeg schools we can provide support to teachers, families and students living with a neuromuscular disorder.
