2009 – 2010 REPORT TO DONORS
Letter from the Chair
It has been an honour to serve as Chair of the Board of
Directors over the last two years and see our efforts
result in the merger of two great foundations and an
institutional name change that recognizes the
generosity of a remarkable family.
In this unprecedented year, Bloorview Kids Foundation
and Bloorview Childrens Hospital Foundation merged
in June 2009. With over $60 million of invested assets,
the new Foundation is Canada’s largest foundation
devoted exclusively to improving the lives of children
with disabilities and their families.
In December 2009, the Foundation became the
recipient of the largest private donation ever made to a
childhood disability organization in Canada. The
hospital is honouring this commitment by renaming
itself Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital
(Holland Bloorview).
The Holland Family’s gift is the cornerstone for the $80
million No Limits Campaign for Childhood Disability
launched in early 2010. The Foundation is most
fortunate that George Lewis, Group Head, RBC Wealth
Management, has agreed to Chair the Campaign.
The Foundation is blessed with an extremely capable
and dedicated Board of Directors. Three Board
members are retiring this year: Marilyn De Mara,
Dr. Ben Alman and John Kustec. We are grateful for the
time, guidance and passion they have invested in
Holland Bloorview over the years.
I would like to thank Valerie McMurtry, President and
CEO of the Foundation, and her exceptional team for
their high standard of professionalism and execution.
Finally, on behalf of the entire Holland Bloorview
community, I would like to thank you, our donors, for
your unwavering support. You have greatly enhanced
the lives of children with disabilities and their families.

I would like to thank you, our donors,for your unwavering support. You havegreatly enhanced the lives of childrenwith disabilities and their families.

“”
Deciding to launch a fundraising campaign during a
global recession takes conviction in one’s cause, and
confidence in the community. I’m lucky to work in a
place where courage is a daily encounter.
Whenever I take a walk through our parking lot, I see
parents and caregivers lifting and arranging their
children into wheelchairs and walkers. As I step into
the elevator I usually meet some of our kids travelling
with their therapists or caseworkers, making their way
about their own days. It is both a humbling and inspiring
experience, as I am constantly reminded of the
challenging journeys of children with disabilities.
Holland Bloorview is an organization that is consumed
with the question, “what more can be done to
improve the quality of life for these children?” Our
new $80 million No Limits Campaign for Childhood
Disability is our most ambitious yet. Our goal is
simple: to make sure that there are always funds
available to do more and do better for children with
special needs.
As you read through this year’s report, I know that you
will share our excitement and gratitude for Bill and
Susanne Holland’s genuine concern for children. The
Holland Family’s transformational gift, combined
with the collective commitment of the thousands of
other donors who made gifts of all sizes in a
challenging economy, have given us every reason to
believe that we are “Up, Up and Away” and that you,
our community, will continue to invest in the futures
of our children.
I would like to thank and acknowledge the leadership
and dedication of our Board Chair, Tom Muir, who will
be retiring after a two-year term. Tom has served
childhood disability with distinction and honour. His
leadership and wise counsel have made us stronger.

Letter from the President
A Transformational Gift for Childhood Disabil ity
In making a new gift to the No Limits Campaign,Susanne and Bill Hollandhave become the singlelargest contributors to thecause of childhood disabilityin Canada. In just a few shortyears, the Hollands havedonated $26.2 million. For this exceptionalgenerosity and leadership,the hospital is beingrenamed Holland BloorviewKids Rehabilitation Hospital.
In keeping with their desire to help families meet the
day-to-day challenges of raising a child with a
disability, the Hollands are investing in the recruitment
of world-class physicians and clinician scientists to
work with parents, youth and the talented staff at the
hospital to improve care.
“What parents want most from Holland Bloorview is
the best care for their children. Right now, demand for
services far outstrips supply,” explains Bill Holland.
“I’d like to get to a point where we’re able to meet the
needs of all children in our community that need help.
It’s a lofty goal, but that’s what we aspire to. Recruiting
top talent and investing in research are two of the
ways we can work towards faster, better and more
effective care.”
Mr. Holland adds: “We figured out pretty quickly that
Holland Bloorview is the ‘go to’ place in Canada and
it’s clear to us that it is the only organization that’s in a
position to respond nationally to the complex needs of
children with disabilities.When we make progress at
Holland Bloorview we help children with disabilities
everywhere."
The Holland Family’s groundbreaking gift launches
the $80 million No Limits Campaign for Childhood
Disability. In addition to the donation, Mr. Holland is a
member of the Campaign Cabinet where he is busy
recruiting other fundraising volunteers and spreading
the word about this incredible institution and the
important role philanthropy plays in health care today.
“Going out and getting people who have the means
and who are looking to do something for their
community and trying to show them that right here in
our backyard is an amazing institution that does
incredible things everyday, that’s my job now.
Our gift is really just a starting point,” says Holland.
“When you make a contribution to a place like
Holland Bloorview and you get a letter a year later –
from the mother of a child who was helped in a very
significant way there – that is the greatest feeling
you’ll ever have.”
Susanne and I are
like every other
donor to Holland
Bloorview. We want
to help parents give
their children the
life they deserve.
~ Bill Holland

Sheila Jarvis, President and CEO, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Trinity and Dr. Golda Milo-Manson, Vice President, Medicine and Academic Affairs
A Stronger Foundation
Valerie McMurtry, President and CEO of the new
Foundation, says, “This historic merger is a launching
pad for Holland Bloorview’s No Limits Campaign.
Thanks to the foresight of our two foundations and the
generosity and vision of our philanthropic champions,
there will be no limits to what Holland Bloorview can
do for children and families.”
The merger of the two foundations created the largest
pool of invested assets for a childhood disability
charity in Canada - $60 million. Now, the new
Foundation is poised to raise an additional $80 million
to significantly increase the invested assets available to
support Canada’s leader in pediatric rehabilitation
care, research, teaching and learning.
“The Foundation is committed to both the present and
future needs of Holland Bloorview,” says Tom Muir,
Chair of the Foundation’s Board of Directors. “There
will always be children who will need our services and
our support. We will continue to fundraise and manage
our investments wisely to ensure the hospital will have
the financial resources it needs to provide the best care
through its programs and services, recruit the most
talented and passionate staff, conduct ground-
breaking research and teach the next generation.”
Throughout its long history, Holland Bloorview’s
leaders, donors and volunteers have worked hard to
improve the lives of children and families every day
while building capacity for the long-term. In 1899, the
Home for Incurable Children was made possible by
public contributions, donations of furniture and a two-
year rent free agreement for a home on Avenue Road.
Sustaining the home in the early years demanded tight
purse strings and a reliance on the generosity of others.
This legacy of community support endured through
challenging financial markets, industrialization, world
wars, the building of a Canadian national identity,
universal healthcare and rapid technological
developments.
As Canada grew and matured, so did the vision of a
better quality of life for children with disabilities, and
with it a proud legacy of raising, managing and
investing donations from private individuals and
foundations, community groups and corporations.
The efforts of the former Bloorview Childrens Hospital
Foundation and Bloorview Kids Foundation have
contributed to making Holland Bloorview the largest
and most innovative pediatric rehabilitation hospital
in Canada.
So it was then as it is now. Fast-forward to 2010 where a
new group of community and business leaders have a
clear vision of Holland Bloorview’s future and a desire
to be as successful as its predecessors in growing the
invested assets of the Foundation. In this way, donors
to the new Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation
Hospital Foundation will continue to make history.
The merger in June 2009 of Bloorview Childrens Hospital
Foundation and Bloorview Kids Foundation set the
stage for a remarkable debut of the new Holland
Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation.

A Financial Services CompanyInvests in Limitless Futures
When it comes to the impact of their philanthropy,
most organizations want the sky to be the limit.
Mackenzie Financial Corporation wants an impact
with no limits.
That is why Mackenzie pledged $1 million to Holland
Bloorview’s No Limits Campaign to transform
childhood disability care across Canada and around
the world. Mackenzie’s gift will support high-impact
strategies such as Holland Bloorview’s new Allied
Health Clinical Leadership Chair.
Allied Health professionals, such as occupational
therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and speech
language pathologists, play critical roles in childhood
disability care. At Holland Bloorview, they are essential
members of the multidisciplinary rehab team. Allied
Health Care professionals work with kids like three-
year-old Jayden, helping them to overcome mental
and physical limitations caused by congenital
disabilities, traumatic injury or illness.
Jayden came to Holland Bloorview in December, after
being diagnosed with a rare form of encephalitis.
Normally an independent, energetic ‘chatterbox’,
when Jayden arrived at Holland Bloorview she was
“like a baby,” says her Mom, Cheryl. “She had to
re-learn everything — how to hold up her head, how
to sit up, how to eat.” Holland Bloorview’s team of
therapists worked with Jayden on a daily basis. Cheryl
was amazed by their patience and how far they helped
Jayden progress.
By April, Jayden was back on her feet and beginning to
say a few words. She was ready to go home, and, to
celebrate, she wore the Cinderella costume she’d been
too sick to wear on Halloween.
Holland Bloorview is committed to raising the bar in
Allied Health Care for kids with disabilities. Recruiting
an internationally recognized leader to hold the Allied
Health Leadership Chair is the single most effective
means to do so. The first in the world, Holland
Bloorview’s Chair will lead cutting-edge research in
areas that make the biggest difference to families. The
Chair will help us attract top talent in allied health
professions and implement the best therapies in the
world to help kids like Jayden.
Charlie Sims, President and CEO of Mackenzie
Financial, says, “Holland Bloorview’s work to transform
the lives of children with disabilities is extraordinary
and deserves extraordinary support. Mackenzie
Financial is proud to contribute to a brighter future
for kids with disabilities and their families.”
No limits to improving care.
No limits to improving lives.
Thanks to Mackenzie Financial.
Earle O’Born, owner of The Printing House Limited
(TPH), and his wife Janice believe in giving clients
more than excellent service. That is why their
Canadian company has established programs to assist
their employees in giving back to the communities
where they work.
Janice O’Born founded the company’s charitable office
in 1983 with a vision to promote philanthropy to TPH
staff. Janice sees Holland Bloorview as a natural fit for
TPH. Also a member of the board of SickKids
Foundation, she is aware of the crucial part Holland
Bloorview plays in long-term care for children with
chronic illnesses and disabilities. She describes the
care provided by Holland Bloorview as the ‘arms
around a child.’
Through in-kind donations, the sale of greeting cards
and a payroll participation program, The Printing
House has contributed many thousands of dollars
towards Communication and Writing Aids for children
and youth at Holland Bloorview.
The Printing House’s generosity supports young
people like Adam (above). Adam has a rare disease that
destroys his muscles: he can’t
breathe without a ventilator; he
is unable to speak and can’t
move. Adam uses specially
adapted equipment to
communicate. Thanks to
“Mighty Mo”, a ‘voice machine’
developed at Holland Bloorview, Adam was able to
make his voice heard for the first time—when he was 16.
With the support of donors like The Printing House,
young people like Adam can overcome their physical
limitations and lead richer, fuller lives.
As Kim Macfarlane, a Holland Bloorview Therapeutic
Recreation specialist, says, “Adam loves visiting with
people and having one-on-one interaction, and the
talking machine gives him the power to initiate
conversation and express his personality.”

A Grandfather’s Love has No Limits
Wally Clayson’s first grandchild had a rough start in
life. A difficult birth was followed by a diagnosis of
cerebral palsy at 18 months. In spite of her physical
challenges, Jennifer was determined to thrive. Luckily,
she also had her family—and Holland Bloorview.
At the time of Jennifer’s diagnosis, Wally was the
owner of Wally Clayson’s Service Centre in the
neighbourhood. One of his customers told him about
Holland Bloorview. As Wally tells it, “The specialists at
Holland Bloorview were the first ones to say something
could be done for Jennifer. They were quite upbeat
about her cerebral palsy and what she would be able
to achieve.”
Jennifer received care at Holland Bloorview until she
turned 18. In the meantime, her grandfather felt the
desire to give back to an organization that ‘‘was doing
so much for Jennifer.” He started by donating the
proceeds from the tire air machine at his garage. Not
satisfied with this, he organized a golf tournament
through the Automotive Aftermarket Retailers of
Ontario (AARO), where he was President. The first
tournament raised $200. Seventeen years later, the
annual AARO Golf Tournament for Holland Bloorview
has raised over $270,000 towards much-needed
programs and services for children like Jennifer.
Like her grandfather, Jennifer demonstrates
boundless determination and a generous spirit. No
one was prouder than Wally when Jennifer graduated
with Honours from Carleton University in 2005.
Today, Jennifer, 27, owns her own townhouse and
works as a Probation Officer for the Ministry of
Children and Youth Services. “She’s come a long way,”
Wally says, “and now she wants to help other kids.”

An Evening of Possibil ity
Now in its 4th year, the Recipes for Possibility fundraising initiative, which includes, An Evening of
Possibility dinner, has raised more than $1 million in support of Holland Bloorview’s extraordinary
hospital for children with disabilities.
On November 23, 2009, Holland Bloorview hosted An Evening of Possibility, gathering 250 of Toronto’s
business and community leaders for a night of fine dining prepared by some of Canada’s finest chefs.
Holland Bloorview would like to extend a sincere thank you to RBC, our presenting sponsor, and to all
of our generous donors who supported the Recipes for Possibility fundraising initiative.

Corporate and Leadership Gifts
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation would like to thank all corporate and
leadership gift donors. Private support is critical to enabling kids with disabilities to live ordinary and
sometimes extraordinary lives just like other kids. In 2009/2010, despite the global recession, Holland
Bloorview benefited from many outstanding new contributions. Here are a few highlights:
NO LIMITS
Campaign Chair George Lewis is
learning very quickly that Holland
Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation
Hospital Foundation has a strong
core of loyal donors and volunteers
who are committed to creating a
world of possibilities for kids with
disabilities.
“Everyone involved with Holland
Bloorview wants to do more for kids
with disabilities and their families.
Our donors recognize the needs are
urgent and their gifts will make a
difference right now. But more than
this, donors to the No Limits
Campaign are helping to build
greater capacity for the future. We’re
investing for the long-term, knowing
that our gifts will help children
today, tomorrow and every day
after that,” Lewis said.
It’s the campaign fundraising
priorities that have donors,
volunteers and staff excited about
the future. Holland Bloorview is
working on four fronts to provide
faster and more effective care for
children with disabilities.
Transforming Care
We’re putting investments in place
to ensure that Holland Bloorview
can go anywhere in the world to
recruit top talent. We want the most
passionate and highly skilled
physicians, scientists and allied
health leaders to help us improve
the experience of care.
Building Family Strength
We will build up our resources so
there will always be funding
available to directly support families
and integrate their experiences in
the care of their children.
Improving Quality of Life
Research is having a significant
impact in advancing new models of
care and innovative technologies.
We will put long-term funding in
place to recruit and retain world-
class research talent and build up
the infrastructure and resources that
the Bloorview Research Institute
needs to become a world-leading
research enterprise.
Building Capacity
Teaching the next generation using
the most innovative methods and
tools will have its greatest impact on
children with disabilities and their
families. Teaching, informed by
research and supported by
interprofessional collaboration
and simulation-enhanced learning
equals better care for the hundreds
of thousands of children with
disabilities in Canada.
We’re launched!No Limits, the Campaign for Childhood Disability is off to a great start thanks to some exceptionally
generous donors and our hardworking Campaign Cabinet. To date, the campaign has raised $32 million
towards our $80 million goal.

“There really are no limits to putting a donor’s gifts to work.
We are confident that as the campaign takes flight more donors
and volunteers will join us in being champions for the cause of
childhood disability in Canada. The best part of the job for me
will be thanking people for all the ways they will help the
No Limits Campaign reach its goals, ” said Lewis.

In memory of Demetre IordanidisDemetre Iordanidis was a gentle man with a warm smile. When traditionalGreek music played his body would sway, his eyes would close and hisbaritone voice would sing aloud. When one of Demetre’s grandchildrensuffered a traumatic accident five years ago, he understood the criticalimportance of Holland Bloorview. The late Demetre would be very proud to know that donations in his memory went to this special place.
