Welcome to the first issue of Hero, the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation’s official magazine.

For many years we’ve kept Stollery supporters informed about our donors through our Bearfacts publication, which when we took a closer look was really about celebrating heroes who make things happen. And, it’s our donors who help others become heroes. In fact, we began to realize that we have more heroes than could

be imagined. So we’re making a change. Instead of Bearfacts arriving every few months, Hero will be making its way to your mailbox.

Get ready for stories about Stollery Heroes. In this first issue, we’ve asked Jed Calhoun Rutter to be our cover Hero. This little guy has been through more than one would have thought humanly possible, which is why you’ll find the Superman cape in the cover photo with Jed. There’s a great story about Jed on page 6; I think you’ll share our opinion once you’ve read through the article.

We’ve also added stories written by our Stollery Youth News Team. We’re all about kids, so having the youth voice in the magazine is important. These young high school reporters want to add professional writing to their resume, so we’re helping by giving them the opportunity to cover interesting stories and to publish. Adrienne has a story on Hair Massacure in this issue and Michelle met with Dr. Geoff Ball to talk about his team’s work at the Pediatric Centre for Weight and Health.

As you read through, you’ll find page after page celebrating our Heroes. We exist for the sole purpose of helping children, and we’re truly blessed to be able to give the people on these pages a Hero’s welcome.

On February 3, 2011, Shirley Stollery passed away.

She was a great friend of the Stollery Children’s

Hospital and the Stollery Children’s Hospital

Foundation, and will be greatly missed. Although she lived

with her own health challenges, Shirley and her husband

Robert spent their lives helping others. She always had a

smile for all of the children, and was admired for her

dedication. Shirley loved to give bears to the children at the

hospital, and as a memorial to her the Stollery family made

a visit to the hospital to present a bear to each child. There

were many smiles and giggles—just what would have brought

cheer to Shirley.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital was made possible through

the generosity of Bob and Shirley Stollery. Approximately

25 years ago, Bob met with concerned Edmontonians and

pediatricians interested in improving children’s health care in

our region. They felt it was time to bring a children’s hospital

to Edmonton. It is because of their vision and generosity that

Edmonton is home to a state-of-the-art children’s hospital.

We’re proud to carry on their legacy.

long-term complications, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia,

a chronic lung disease of premature babies. Current research

is questioning whether there may be a link between broncho-

pulmonary dysplasia and increased rates of asthma, early onset

emphysema, fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension in later

life. A life-saving treatment is just that – but Dr. Thébaud is

certain we can do better. He’s confident that within five years

his new treatment will be in clinical trial and that it can save

the lives of preemies. He even believes it can help heal the

damaged lungs of adults born premature decades ago and now

suffering chronic illness.

None of this happens overnight, though. In 2004, Dr. Thébaud

had an idea on how to help the chronic lung disease of prema-

ture babies. It involved injecting stem cells into the lungs of

these babies to help them develop more appropriately. With

the seed money provided by the Stollery Children’s Hospital

Foundation, Dr. Thébaud set to his initial research. Publica-

tion of the findings brought the ability to obtain more funding

from national funding bodies and continued research.

Now, Dr. Thébaud and his research assistants have proven

that the treatment, intended for preemies, is successful in lab

animals. They’ve solved the ethical dilemma of using embry-

onic stem cells by developing a method of manufacture from

cord-blood stem cells, a product that would otherwise be

considered medical waste. The Canadian Institutes of Health

Research ranked Dr. Thébaud’s research #1 for its innovative

aspect and clinical relevance. Many respected scientists, not

just Dr. Thébaud, believe that this research will change the

way premature babies with immature lungs are treated and

provide the basis for treatment options for other chronic lung

conditions in adults.

Before they can make it to clinical trials though, they have to

prove that the treatment is completely safe. A research group

in the United States has come on board to help. Together,

the two labs will design studies that closely mimic human

responses to the treatment in order to assure the safety of

the treatment. Once safety is assured, the clinical trial is that

much closer. Normally, from idea to implementation of medi-

cal treatments takes 15 to 20 years. Dr. Thébaud and his team

are aiming for nine or ten years. “You need passion and to be

convinced that one day you will make a difference,” he says in

response to questions about his ambitious plan. “This is what

keeps us going here in the lab. Everyone is on the same page.”

Every year in Canada five to ten thousand babies suffer from

bronchopulmonary dysplasia. We don’t yet know how many

will grow to maturity only to experience life-long complica-

tions from life-saving treatments in their early life. So despite

the unfamiliar equipment and the acrid smell in the air, what’s

happening inside this lab is the manufacture of hope – for

healthy lives for all of our children, and better, healthier lives

for the adults they grow into.

“For every good day I have in the lab, there are four bad

ones,” Dr. Thébaud says, “But I just remember that mother

[losing her child]. It keeps our fire burning and relentlessly

working towards this one goal: bringing our lab discoveries

into the clinic.”

With continued research, one day Dr. Thébaud will be able to

tell mothers and fathers in desperate situations that there are

options, and that their child will be okay.

I always remember having to tell this one mother that

her child likely wasn’t going to make it,” Dr. Bernard

Thébaud relates, “It was a devastating moment and she

just looked at me with an expression I can’t really explain and

said ‘But isn’t there anything we can do?’ I have never forgot-

ten that face.” Dr. Thébaud shakes his head and looks away.

We sit in silence for a moment inside his office at the lab.

Dr. Thébaud, with funding from the Stollery Children’s Hos-

pital Foundation, is working on ways to increase the survival

odds for premature babies with lung problems. It’s a common

problem with preemies – lungs that are just too little or under

developed to support the life of the child that houses them.

Here in the lab there is an acidic smell in the air. At first the

odor is clinical and odd, but if you get the chance to speak

with the researchers here, you’ll forever recognize it as the

smell of hope.

“ Dr. Bernard Thébaud is a neonatologist that both treats and

researches treatment options. His job is to care for tiny babies

that are born premature. He says it’s hard work and too often

he’s limited in treatment options.

At 36 weeks gestation, a baby’s lungs are just developing

the alveoli – the tiny sacs that allow the body to properly

make use of the air it breathes. Without these tiny little sacs,

premature babies have an inability to breathe on their own,

and giving them oxygen and putting them on ventilators can

cause irreparable damage to their tiny lungs. With preterm

births rising, so that now 1 in 10 babies is born premature, the

problem is significant.

Since the 1990s, doctors have had antenatal steroids and

postnatal surfactant to treat lung deficiencies in preemies.

These were two major breakthroughs in neonatology. Some

babies, however, still need the help of breathing machines and

additional oxygen to keep them alive. While possibly saving

the baby’s life, breathing machines and oxygen may also cause

Kids Love Philanthropy by Andrea Donini

It was towards the end of her presentation that Stephanie

Perilli, the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation’s

Community Initiatives Manager, noticed a little boy

at the back of the class who appeared deep in thought. His

concentration was mirrored on his face, and from the front

of the class Stephanie had noticed. Concerned about him, she

immediately called on him when his hand went up.

“You can have my milk money,” he said, smiling now, and

opened his desk to find the 75 cents in quarters he had tucked

away. He ran up to hand it off to Stephanie. As he does, several

of his classmates begin to rummage through their own desks.

A chorus of “you can have mine, too” rang through the class, and

one little boy ran to retrieve his lunch kit to donate a baggie to

hold the collected change. In just a few minutes, a grade 3 class

raised $15.50 for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. It

may seem like a small thing, but in truth, the magnitude of what

has occurred in this classroom is immeasurable.

This story is not unique – it’s one of the dozens of ways

the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation has helped

affect change in student populations. Through the School

Philanthropy project, a joint effort with Edmonton

Catholic Schools through the Alberta Initiative for School

Improvement Wellness Project, the Stollery Children’s

Hospital Foundation has taught students in 50 different

schools what it means to be a philanthropist.

It’s a big word – and a bigger concept – but it’s one students

ages 4 through 18 seem to inherently understand. Once the

definition of philanthropy is taught, the School Philanthropy

project helps students learn the ways they can make a difference

in their communities and then supports them to do it. Whether

it’s volunteering to knit hats for the homeless, running a food

drive for the local food bank, or recycling beverage containers

for a cleaner environment, the project aims to help children

understand that their contributions are valuable and that

children of any age or background can make a difference in

the communities they live in.

“It’s all about the love,” says Stephanie, “Every time I do a

presentation about philanthropy, I ask the students to tell me

what ‘true philanthropy’ means to them. Invariably they say

‘love’, and it’s true,” she says, “Philanthropy is about loving all

of humankind, despite our differences, and about supporting

that love with action. It’s so inspiring to see the kids – to see

them get it and begin to give back.”

A drive past the Stollery usually prompted a

reminder that there were children who needed

hospital care. I confess that my thoughts often

stopped there, not truly giving the depth or breadth of the

care serious consideration. So when I began working for the

Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, I had a very real

awakening. My first day on the job included a walk through

the hospital to learn what they do and where. It was a

humbling experience. There were children who were too sick

to lift their heads, babies who had experienced heart surgery,

little ones in oncology wearing head scarves. It became an

epiphany day and one that continues to remind me of the

strength and courage of the children in the Stollery.

There are children I have met who can only be described

as inspiring, and that includes Jed, our cover hero in

this edition. I’ve gotta say, this eight-year-old Superman

epitomizes everything we would hope to be in our own

lives. “Jed is our hero,” says mom, Karen Calhoun. “He lives

in the present—not attached to the past and not worrying

about the future. He is always in the moment.” She

attributes this attitude towards life as one of the reasons

he has survived and accomplished so much.

Jed was two-days old when he had his first surgery. “When

you have a sick child, all you can do is trust the surgeons will

bring back your child. Those first months Jed was too sick to

respond and then he turned a corner. And it was his courage,

his determination, that brought all of us the strength we

needed for him to survive,” says Karen. “What kids have

to overcome and deal with humbles us and drives us to be

better people. All you need to do is watch how they handle

what’s happening to them to see what makes them heroic.”

Regular appointments at the hospital continue to be dotted

between skiing, horse-back riding, swimming and enjoying

school. And, this past summer, Jed decided he was going to

water ski. Having watched all of the other kids ski, Jed’s

determination won out and his dad Todd relented. Friends

and family lined the beach as Todd stood in the water with

Jed waiting for the boat to start off. As the tow rope became

taut, Todd slowly lifted Jed up on the skis and away he went.

“There wasn’t a dry eye on the beach,” adds Karen.

When we stood with Jed in the hallway of his school to

take the cover photo, I looked around to see that I wasn’t

the only one in awe of this little guy. As we wrapped up the

equipment and put away the cameras, Jed came over and

gave me a hug and a pat on the back. It was a hero pat.

A Jed pat. The kind that helps you to believe anything

is possible.

Is it all in the family? by Michelle Goonasekera, Stollery Youth News Team

Childhood obesity is a growing concern in Canada

that should be prevented in order to keep our

children and youth healthy and prepared for the

future. There are many causes linked to obesity, but there

are also solutions to help prevent girls and boys from gaining

excess weight.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation is a strong

and proud supporter of the Pediatric Centre for Weight and

Health (PCWH), which is led by Dr. Geoff Ball. Research

is being done to understand why families are struggling

with weight issues and which services can be provided to

keep families in good physical shape. The PCWH consists

of doctors, nurses, dieticians, psychologists and exercise

specialists that support and assist families throughout their

journey to live healthier lifestyles.

There is a strong focus on working with parents at the clinic.

If parents can be healthy role models and make healthy

changes in their homes, it is likely that the children will

mimic their behaviours and make healthy choices themselves.

One of the first things the clinic does is figure out a family’s

motivation for change. If a family is enthusiastic about being

healthier, a more intense program is set up; however, if a

family is a bit uncertain and hesitant, they start out at a

slower pace.

“If mom and dad are big and their kids are big, that’s normal

for them,” says Dr. Ball. Sometimes families don’t realize that

their weight is a health issue. For this reason, the clinic gives

families information on what is or is not healthy so families

understand the link between weight and health, and that they

can make changes to improve their health, in the short- and

long-term.

Childhood obesity has become increasingly common over the

past 20-30 years, and it’s too complex of an issue to be solved

easily. As Dr Ball says, “Obesity is like a cruise ship and it’s

been going in a certain direction for awhile. To turn the ship

around, it’s going to take a lot of time, energy, and people

working together to make it happen.”

There are some straight-forward things families can do to

lessen childhood obesity if parents and kids are motivated

and determined to make healthy changes. Regular physical

activity, healthy food choices, getting enough sleep, reducing

screen time and sugar-sweetened drinks, and regular family

dinners are simple places to start. The bigger picture also

has an impact, but it can be a challenge to overcome. “The

design of our communities determines, to some extent, how

physically active we are,” Dr. Ball comments, referring to

some communities that don’t have sidewalks, or require a car

trip to get anywhere. Both factors can decrease the likelihood

of physical activity.

Obesity is a big concern. Families who are knowledgeable,

strong, and motivated can overcome this growing epidemic.

So remember: Make healthy choices for a longer and

healthy life.

Sometimes families don’t realize that their weight is a health issue.

helping to raise money for the Stollery Children’s Hospital

Foundation at her work. Several days later Evan approached

his mom and his teachers to say he wanted to raise money

too. And he has, Evan raised $500.55, well above the $200

dollars he had hoped to raise in two weeks. Evan’s actions in

his school sparked a chain-reaction. “It started as a classroom

project and then the whole school got involved!” says Evan.

In fact, Evan’s school is hoping to raise $2000 for the Stollery

Children’s Hospital Foundation by the end of the school year.

Lindy Ewaskiw, a teacher at Anne Fitzgerald, knows

firsthand how that money is put to good use by the Stollery

Children’s Hospital. Several years ago her son underwent

open-heart surgery at the Stollery. It was a life-saving

operation and a terrifying time for her family, but through

it, the Stollery provided incredible support and exemplary

medical care. Now, Ms. Ewaskiw is giving back.

Once students understand what philanthropy is all about,

the goal of the School Philanthropy project is to support

students in their efforts to put it into practice. Ms. Ewaskiw

is the project champion in her school. She hears all the

ideas and helps the students make contact with the people

and services they need to execute their philanthropic plans.

Lindy’s students even helped with the Foundation’s Donor

Recognition event. They provided the artwork that was used

for the invitations and the décor at the event.

To keep the momentum of this project going, a volunteer

committee was created. This group of diverse individuals is

available to step in and help the schools, and the students, with

advice, access to resources and much more. It’s a community

support group to aid community support.

Everyone involved is loving it. “It really is amazing how

excited everyone is and what the students have accomplished,”

says Perilli.

And the projects aren’t stopping at the school level. This

spring, five schools involved in the philanthropy project are

coming together to put on a huge Glee-style concert on April

29 to raise money for charity. From milk money to musical

productions, the School Philanthropy project is showing

students and adults alike how to make a difference in their

community. It’s a powerful indicator of what’s possible when

we teach and support our children to be involved.

Hair MassacureThere’s still time to get pinkby Adrienne Leung, Stollery Youth News Team

Nine years ago, Kali MacDonald was diagnosed with

cancer at the age of two. Determined to help raise

money and awareness about children with life-

threatening illnesses, particularly cancer, her family organized

an annual event called the Hair Massacure. Kali has long been

in remisssion, but her family continue to grow the event to new

heights in support of children.

Participants of all ages dye their hair pink to raise awareness,

then shave it off to experience what a cancer patient might feel

when they lose their hair from treatment. “Many people do it

to honour someone they know who has cancer,” says organizer

Tammy MacDonald.

Hair Massacure is really an event that runs over several

months, beginning in January and ending in April. The big

head shave took place on February 11 at West Edmonton Mall

where hundreds of people participated, but there are schools

and companies continuing the spirit of Hair Massacure. The

goal this year is to top the 2010 mark of $1 million raised.

The money is split between the Stollery Children’s Hospital

Foundation (pediatric oncology research), and Make-A-Wish

Foundation, Northern Alberta, with a portion to Ronald

McDonald House, Northern Alberta.

This event has grown starting with 48 proud participants in

the first year to 1,500 participants last year pinking and shaving

all over Canada. Special guests such as Premier Ed Stelmach

and participants like the Edmonton Eskimos and Edmonton

Oilers also help promote the event within the community.

Large groups and schools like Sturgeon Heights School raise

awareness in younger children. Second time participant Kira

from Sturgeon Heights is only five years old and is “doing it for

all the sick kids with cancer.” Nine-year-old Jared Quinsey also

from Sturgeon Heights School participated in the event with his

father, Sean, and raised $1000 dollars.

“My grandma passed away from cancer, and there’s this kid in

my neighbourhood who had cancer, but he survived. I’m doing

it for them,” says second-time participant Gavin Dyer who

heard of the event from a classmate. Touching his shaved head,

he admitted to feeling a little nervous before shaving it off. “It’s

weird, you can feel the slightest breeze,” he laughs. Inside the

event, the sense of community is strong, people rub each other’s

heads and cheer each other on as their hair falls to the floor.

It’s a great way to have fun together or support kids on your

own. If you want to join in and support Hair Massacure,

check out hairmassacure.com or call Tammy MacDonald

at 780.938.4247.

activity made easy for kids

Being active for at least 60 minutes every day can help

children improve their health, do better in school, improve

their overall fitness, learn new skills and improve their self-

confidence. Parents and caregivers can help plan their child’s

daily activities by encouraging active games at recess and

enrolling them in a camp or sport, where kids can have fun

while learning new skills.

Parents also have an important role in playing with their kids

– go sledding, play tag at a local playground or even puddle-

jumping on a rainy day. Being active with your kids is good

for everyone!

Kevin Arnott is the Active Living and Wellness Supervisor for

the City of Edmonton, programming for the City’s facilities.

He believes the new activity guidelines are positive because

they give parents and caregivers clear, achievable goals. The

new guidelines are also very inclusive. “There’s no judgment

on what activities to do,” says Arnott. “All activities and levels

are all good. Just get moving!”

The guidelines were released by the Canadian Society for

Exercise Physiology, the central Canadian body for fitness

research, and are based on four years of research analysis by

fitness experts and physiologists. The guidelines now align

with those set by the World Health Organization and other

major developed countries like the United States, Australia

and Britain.

“It is important to be physically active in different

environments — water, air, land and snow/ice,” says Arnott.

“Learning basic motor skills in a variety of environments

becomes the building blocks for different activities.”

These “building blocks” include running, jumping, skating,

swimming and throwing. They form the foundation for

children to be successful in sports and all activities now and

into the future. For instance, skating can lead to hockey and

figure skating; swimming can lead to water polo or diving. In

addition, these motor skills not only create success in sports,

but in life-long activities like skating and swimming.

Becoming active at an early age can help make prevention a

key component in a child’s life. Check out the tips in the side

bar to help your child experience the joy of being active.

C CREATE opportunities to succeed. On the playground,

start with the lower slides so the kids get comfortable.

When throwing and catching a ball, start standing

close together and use a bigger ball.

H HAVE fun! Like adults, kids will be more willing to

participate if it’s an activity they like to do.

I INCLUSIVE of all activity. Introduce new activities and

make sure your child tries structured and unstructured

games, by themselves and in a group or team.

L LITERACY – Physical literacy is about giving kids the

opportunity to discover how to move, how to act and

react through different activities. It is also knowing

why being active is important, and incorporating

activity daily for life.

D The importance of both DISASSOCIATION and

association. Association is important when learning

a new skill like learning to stop while skating – you

have to teach the body what to do. Once learned,

the skill becomes more automatic and can be

incorporated into games where the focus is on fun

and competition (disassociation).

R RELATIONSHIPS, not just socialization with other kids

but building family relationships through activity.

Children in families that are active together generally

become active adults.

E ENCOURAGING activity in the four different

environments (water, air, land and snow/ice) forms

a solid foundation for being active our entire lives.

N NOT adults yet, let them be children! Practices don’t

have to be overly structured. Kids need a lot of variety,

so don’t expect them to do the same drill over

and over.

activity made easy for kids

There are thousands of things to teach a child, but one of

the most important is to encourage kids to be physically

active. New Canadian fitness standards offer reasonable

and achievable goals for families, and activity programmers are

continuously looking at new ways to engage kids.

Research has shown that being physically active as an adult

depends on our confidence in doing activities. That confidence

most often comes from having learned fundamental

movement and sport skills as a child.

Learning those skills is called physical literacy, which is

about giving kids the opportunity to discover how to move

to meet different requirements – for example playing games,

gymnastics or dancing. It’s also about teaching kids how to act

and react, such as the skills involved in passing a soccer ball.

Physical literacy also involves elements of strategy, such as

moving to open space to wait for a passed ball. It is not only

the skill of doing the movements but also knowing why being

active is important, and incorporating activity daily for life.

The new physical activity guidelines were released in January

2011. They state that children aged 5-11 years should do at

least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical

activity per day. It doesn’t have to happen all at once; activities

can happen throughout the day to total at least one hour.

Vigorous-intensity activities should happen at least three times

a week. This level of activity will cause children to sweat

and to breathe harder, such as swimming, riding a bicycle, or

running around on a playground. Activities that strengthen

muscle and bone should also happen at least three days per

week. Examples include push-ups, sit-ups, shoveling, raking,

climbing and play structure-related activities.

The new recommendations are minimums. More daily

physical activity provides greater health benefits.

events

To be an entertainer, you need to be comfortable

using a microphone. Former Stollery patient,

Charlotte Keiller, proved that being eight years

old and spending the first years of your life on a ventilator is

no reason not to hit the big time. CISN’s Chris Scheetz was

interviewing Charlotte and her mom, Tiffany, at the Corus

Radiothon when it popped up that there was a singer in the

midst, and it was the tiny, blonde haired, bright light sitting in

front of him.

Turns out that Charlotte knows the words to most of Taylor

Swift’s songs. So, Chris held the headphones, while Charlotte

took over the microphone, and the next five minutes on air

was filled with a tiny voice having a great time with her first

public performance. She did a great job—you can catch the

song on YouTube—and it was fun to hear. What makes her

performance magical is that there was a time that Charlotte’s

family didn’t know if she would ever be off a ventilator or

able to talk, let alone belt out a song on the radio.

There were dozens of families who shared their stories

during the Corus Radiothon. Many that were uplifting and

some that filled all of our hearts with reasons to feel blessed.

Thanks to the caring people listening to 92.5 JOE FM, 103.9

CISN Country and 630 CHED, more than $1.3 million was

raised to support the Foundation’s efforts in helping children

at the Stollery. If that sounds like a lot of money, it is. And

it’s needed to ensure the Stollery meets the priority needs of

the hospital and has the necessary state of the art equipment

available to treat our children. It’s equipment such as the

O-Arm 3 dimensional x-ray machine for orthopedic surgery.

This $1 million piece of equipment aids surgeons in accurately

placing screws during spinal surgery, which improves the

safety of complex spinal procedures. It allows for procedures

to be done with minimal access, which means more speedy

recoveries. All you need to do is ask a mom or dad with a

child in the hospital how important they feel this specialized

equipment is to their child to know that donors truly help to

make miracles happen.

Our special thanks to the companies who supported the

Radiothon. Our presenting sponsor, Great Canadian Roofing,

Exteriors and HVAC, was there with us all the way. There

are many organizations in the city who support the kids at the

Stollery, and Great Canadian has certainly made it a priority

for their organization.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Radiothon a great

success, the crew at the radio stations for their on-going

support and outstanding professionalism, and all of the

families who shared their stories. It was an event that warmed

hearts on a cold winter day.

I danced with a big bear!” Not the typical response

you would expect after attending a black-tie gala, but

Malaieja Mastelero is only four years old. Her favourite

part of attending the masquerade themed Snowflake Gala was

dancing to live music with Dr. Patchup, the Stollery’s bear

mascot, and playing with her masquerade mask.

Malaieja and her mom, Kristine, know the Stollery Children’s

Hospital very well. For more than a year, Malaieja could not

leave the hospital. She was connected to a Berlin Heart, an

artificial heart that gave Malaieja’s heart a vacation while she

waited for a heart transplant. The Stollery is the referral centre

for all complex pediatric heart surgeries and transplants, so

Malaieja was in good hands when she received a transplanted

heart on July 7, 2010.

The Masteleros were one of 12 Stollery families who received

Miracle Family sponsored tickets to attend Snowflake Gala. It’s

a perfect way for families to enjoy fun time together. The Gala

is also often a much needed break for the families who have

been spending many hours at the hospital.

Patient Keaton Littlefair also attended and was quick to spot

the Canadian Military’s Coyote, a tank-like military vehicle that

was a feature item in the annual auction. Keaton didn’t hesitate

to climb up and take the driver’s seat. Between that, building

endless creations with Lego in the KidsZone and enjoying

turkey, potatoes and hot dogs, Keaton and his family had an

action-packed evening.

“It was nice to see that everything was created with kids in

mind,” said Kelli, Keaton’s mom. Keaton spends many hours

in the Stollery with multiple health issues, so having time just

to “be a kid” was a treat for

the whole family.

This year’s Snowflake

Gala, presented by Don

and Marina Ghermezian,

was sold out and raised

more than $824,000 to fund

priority needs at the Stollery

Children’s Hospital. Because of the caring sponsors, volunteers,

and the 1,100 guests who attend every year, the Snowflake Gala

has raised more than $6.2 million for the Stollery since

its inception.

The Stollery is thankful for the support of all of our sponsors,

especially Presenting Sponsor Don and Marina Ghermezian,

“Diamond” Sponsors Denis and Dianne Dale and their family,

and Syncrude Canada; and “Platinum Sponsors” Aquila

Productions, the Love Boyz, and the Webb family.

Planning is already underway for the 2011 Snowflake Gala.

Mark your calendars for December 12, which will be the 15th

anniversary celebration. For information on becoming a Gala

sponsor, contact us at 780-433-5437.

Becoming a Miracle CityIn 2011, every RE/MAX realtor

in Edmonton donated to

the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. When this

happens, they achieve ‘Miracle City’ status. Together,

they raised more than $365,000 in support of sick

and injured children.

RE/MAX agents are sometimes known as “miracle

workers” for their ability to find just the right house.

However, it’s outside the home purchase where the real

miracles happen. When you buy a home with a RE/MAX

agent, he or she has an option to make a contribution on

behalf of the sale to the local Children’s Miracle Network

hospital through RE/MAX’s Miracle Home Program.

In addition to their Miracle Home Program, RE/MAX once

again teamed up with Marriott at River Cree Resort to

raise more than $60,000 from their Cotton Club Gala.

Congratulations RE/MAX agents on becoming a Miracle

City! Thank you for your continued support!

Charity Bear ProgramMore than 11,600

custom-made Anna Club

2010 Stollery Kids Bears

bear was created to

commemorate all the

brave boys and girls who rely on the Stollery.

Thank you RBC, CIBC, Scotiabank, BMO, HSBC, and our
