As part of their annual holiday campaign efforts, CDW Canada coworkers raised funds and donated new toys to help spread holiday cheer to children undergoing treatment at the hospital.

During an award presentation Thursday, CDW Canada was pleased to present SickKids Foundation with a cheque for its monetary donation, all in support of the SickKids mandate of delivering and maintaining an enhanced level of care for patients, families, doctors and staff. The toys collected from CDW Canada's annual toy drive were also delivered to the hospital for SickKids' patients to enjoy this holiday season.
"Every day at SickKids we improve the lives of children and their families through ground-breaking research, care and learning. The generous support of donors like CDW Canada is what allows us to make this happen," said Adrian Horwood, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at SickKids Foundation.
