Variety - The Children's Charity of BC: Helping Kids Be Kids
Variety - The Children's Charity of BC is a non-profit organization that has been helping children with special needs in British Columbia for over 50 years. Their mission is to provide support and assistance to families who have children with physical or developmental disabilities, chronic illnesses, or other special needs.
Variety believes that every child deserves the chance to be a kid, regardless of their circumstances. They work tirelessly to ensure that children with special needs have access to the resources and services they need to thrive. From medical equipment and therapies to educational programs and recreational activities, Variety provides a wide range of support services for families all over BC.
One of the key ways Variety helps kids be kids is through their grant program. Families can apply for funding for things like mobility equipment, communication devices, therapy sessions, and more. These grants help alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with caring for a child with special needs and allow families to focus on what really matters – spending time together as a family.
In addition to their grant program, Variety also runs several signature events throughout the year that raise funds and awareness for their cause. These events include the Show of Hearts Telethon, which has been running since 1966 and raises millions of dollars each year; A Night Of Miracles Gala; Boat For Hope; Variety Week; etc.
Variety also partners with other organizations in BC who share their commitment to helping children with special needs. Together they work towards creating an inclusive community where every child feels valued and supported.
What sets Variety apart from other charities is its focus on providing tangible support directly to families in need. They understand that every family's situation is unique, so they tailor their services accordingly. Whether it's providing specialized equipment or connecting families with community resources, Variety goes above and beyond to ensure that every child has access to the care they need.
