ONE WISH,
SO MANY
SMILES
Children’s Wish is a uniquely Canadian charity that helps Canadian children, families and communities
by granting the favourite wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. With every wish that
we grant, we create moments of joy that ease the pain of a child, give respite to the child’s family, and
connect healthcare professionals and communities in that burning wish of hope.
Celebrating 30 years and over 20,000 wishes granted
Largest wish granting organization in Canada
113,000 generous donors
Record-breaking revenue totalling $25.2 million
MESSAGE FROM THE
BOARD CHAIR AND CEO
There’s a palpable energy at Children’s Wish Foundation – an infectious excitement about
great things to come. Thirty years after we granted our first wish, Children’s Wish has arrived
at a pivotal point in our organization’s history, and we’re making changes with profound and
ultimately wonderful implications.
Thanks to advances in medicine and technology, many children are now surviving illnesses
that were once considered to be fatal. But they are often left with incredible challenges
that make day-to-day living difficult, and many are dependent on their family members for
everyday tasks such as eating, getting dressed, or just getting around.
Jeanette Wakelin
Chair, National Board of Directors
From our field work and our discussions with the medical community, we know there is a
real and urgent need to provide joy and relief to these children and their families. Children’s
Wish will be extending the incredible gift of a wish to this broader range of children and
families who are coping with high-risk illnesses that significantly affect qualify of life.
This change, which represents a tremendous step forward for Children’s Wish, would not
have been possible without the support of people like you. Your generosity has allowed us to
grant more than 20,000 wishes over the last three decades.
The numbers tell only part of the story. A single wish granted makes a difference in the lives
of as many as 100 people or more – the wish child, family members, classmates, teachers,
healthcare professionals, volunteers, businesses and support groups. Entire communities
have been transformed by the fervent dream of a wish child, and over the last 30 years this
has translated into millions of Canadians touched by Children’s Wish.
Chris Kotsopoulos
Chief Executive Officer
With our decision to extend our reach to more children living with high-risk illnesses, we
anticipate an increase in wish referrals and, consequently, a need for more revenue. We’re
already working hard to expand our resources to ensure no eligible wish child is turned away,
and over the last year we’ve seen wish referrals hit a record high in many provinces. Now we
must work even harder and continue to expand our revenue sources.
To accomplish this, we intend to strengthen our relationships with donors and volunteers,
and to build greater awareness of Children’s Wish. We’ve already taken steps to advance this
goal. Last year, we refreshed our brand to ensure Canadians understood who we are and
what makes us different. We invested in a new, more compelling website. We boosted our
media outreach, resulting in greater coverage.
We have accomplished so much and, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we
want to thank you once again for your support. Children’s Wish has brought joy to so many
children, families and communities. With your continued support, we will work harder than
ever to bring the healing power of a wish to many more children in Canada.

From playing among butterflies to hanging with Olympians, the wishes we grant are life-changing for wish
kids, their families and communities.
OLYMPIC DREAMS: THEY SHOOT, THEY SCORE FOR JAYDEN AND FRÉDÉRIQUE
It’s the ultimate dream come true for sports fans: a seat at the Olympic Games. Jayden and Frédérique – both avid hockey fans – got
their ultimate wish to attend the 2014 Sochi Olympics, thanks to Children’s Wish and the support of RBC Royal Bank and Hudson’s Bay
Company. When the Canadian women’s hockey team found out Jayden and Frédérique were at the Games, they promised to try and win
gold for the wish kids – and they did!

Children’s Wish is so lucky to have a
vast network of individual volunteers,
community groups and organizations that
help us create the magic of a wish through
their generous gifts of time and skills.
Jocelyne and Claude Giguère - Laura Cole
Volunteer of the Year Award Recipients
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
2013-2014
Children’s Wish honours Jocelyne and Claude Giguère this year,
with the Laura Cole Volunteer of the Year award. This annual
citation recognizes outstanding work among the Foundation’s
country-wide network of volunteers – generous Canadians who
give their time and skills to create moments of joy and hope for
seriously ill children and their families.
Jeanette Wakelin, Chair
Prince Edward Island
For Jocelyne and Claude, volunteering with Children’s Wish began
as a tribute to their daughter, Marjorie, and continues as a lifelong
commitment to helping other wish kids and families. More than 20
years ago, Marjorie got her Children’s Wish to meet Mitsou, the
Quebec singer and actress. Through that unforgettable experience,
Jocelyne and Claude saw first hand the transformative power of a
child’s dream come true.
Lloyd Matthews, Secretary
Newfoundland and Labrador
Over the last 20 years, Jocelyne and Claude have delivered wishes
to about 400 children. They have demonstrated unwavering
commitment and enthusiasm for Children’s Wish, and they spare
no effort to ensure every child’s wish is truly magical. When one
child wished for a kayak, the Giguères got him an excursion with
a kayaker from Canada’s national team. For a girl who wished for
a shopping spree, the Giguères arranged for a chauffeur-driven
limousine, the services of a makeup artist, and special attention
from several shopkeepers.
Because of their personal experience as wish parents, Jocelyne
and Claude are able to quickly establish rapport and trust with wish
families. They even organized a Christmas party one year for wish
families – and more than 200 people showed up! Jocelyne and
Claude are tireless fundraisers, organizing dozens of fundraising
events over the last 10 years. Thanks to their outreach efforts,
many event organizers and media outlets have supported and
helped raised public awareness of Children’s Wish.

It’s amazing to think how that one wish we granted for Marjorie
more than 20 years ago has led directly to more than 400 wishes
and thousands of dollars raised for wish children and their families.
We can’t thank you enough, Jocelyne and Claude, for your
generosity and lifelong commitment to Children’s Wish.

TREASURER’S REPORT
We’ve had quite a year at
Children’s Wish. Thanks to our
generous donors, our fiscal
year ending March 2014 saw
record-breaking revenue
of $25.2 million – a 4.2%
increase from the previous
fiscal year.
The challenges of raising
funds within the charitable
sector demanded that we
examine the ways to further
engage the donor community.
Building upon our popular
annual volunteer-supported
fundraising events like
Wishmaker’s Walk for Wishes,
we recognized that the power
to deliver a wish required a
more diverse mix of revenue
sources.
Brenda Abrams
Treasurer
Our Saskatchewan Wish Home
Lottery is one example of our
expanded revenue base. While
they cost more to run than
traditional fundraisers, over
the past 3 years our lotteries
contributed $1.5 million in net
revenue – enough for 125
wishes.
As we increased our revenue,
we continued to ensure
that as much of our dollars
as possible goes towards
granting wishes. Our overall
fundraising ratio is 32.5%,
but that decreases to 26.4%
after factoring out costs and
revenues associated with the
lotteries. Our administrative
costs ratio is less than 13% –
unchanged from the last three
years.
Over the last decade, the
number of children referred
to the Children’s Wish
Foundation has grown by
22%. Over 70% of our
current reserves has been
earmarked for the wishes
of the many approved
children who are either
awaiting completion of their
treatments or have not yet
chosen their wish.
We have a lot of work to do
as we build on our successes.
We will continue advancing
our strategy to grow our
WHERE OUR FUNDS
COME FROM
INVESTMENT
INCOME
organization and help more
children and families. We plan
to expand some of our existing
revenue-generating initiatives
to support this growth.
We will apply for accreditation
within Imagine Canada’s
new Standards Program
for responsible financial
management and reporting
for charitable organizations.
Our ongoing commitment to
their programs underlines our
strong belief in transparency,
accountability, and careful
stewardship of our donors’
dollars.
We have another busy year
ahead of us. With your
continued support, we will
work harder than ever to bring
the healing power of a wish to
many more children in Canada.
