About
How do you want your legacy to shine? Do you hope to support vulnerable children and youth? Create opportunities for young people and inspire brighter futures? Improve mental health outcomes? By leaving a gift to the Shine Foundation in your Will, your legacy will continue to brighten young futures.
The Shine Foundation (formerly The Sunshine Foundation of Canada) changes the lives of children and youth aged 11-21 living with severe physical disabilities across Canada. Our Shine program helps young people become more engaged in their future by shining a light on their potential and creating opportunities for them to make the impact they strive for.
Our Impact
Our program focuses on the unique needs and aspirations of each young person we serve. These personalized experiences are customized by the child or youth and brought to life by Shine’s dedicated program team. From meeting a hero, to adapted sports equipment, we encourage them to shine bright!
Shine experiences help children and youth living with severe physical disabilities imagine new possibilities, inspire them to reach their future goals, and develop a sense of purpose that can last a lifetime. In fact, after Shine, many are inspired to turn their experience into potential careers or advancing their education. We strive to help young people discover a world where possibilities shine brighter.
