Save the lives of babies born too soon, too small, too sick, or too far.

Your donations make a life-changing difference, helping to purchase life-saving equipment for Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across Canada. Every gift gives premature and critically ill babies the chance to grow up and become champions, just like Sandra.

For more than 20 years, the Sandra Schmirler Foundation has been committed to saving lives and supporting families. Since 2001, we have granted over $9 million to more than 100 hospitals in every province and territory, funding vital equipment that has helped thousands of newborns. We are proud to be the only Foundation in Canada dedicated exclusively to supporting NICUs.

But our mission goes far beyond funding equipment. The Sandra Schmirler Foundation has transformed the lives of families across the country, offering critically ill newborns the chance to thrive and honouring Sandra’s legacy of courage, resilience, and compassion.

Our annual Telethon on TSN during the Scotties Tournament of Hearts is a celebration of Sandra’s life and a powerful opportunity to help families all across Canada. By donating, you help ensure that every baby born too soon, too small, too sick, or too far receives the care they need to grow, thrive, and shine.
