Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation

Our partners at Women and Children's Health Research Institute are leading incredible research in children's health care with researchers like the Samina Ali.

Thanks to donors, we're able to fund research that makes a life-changing difference.

One of the largest randomized clinical trials ever conducted on pediatric pain in Canada, the No OUCH study showed that giving children ibuprofen (Advil) with Tylenol or an oral opioid provided no better pain relief than ibuprofen alone.

The lead investigator, WCHRI member Samina Ali, says the research — funded in part by the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation — will prompt changes in national guidelines for doctors.

Meet Stollery kid, Sophie. 💜

When Sophie was diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy caused by a stroke in utero, she was never expected to walk, talk or be independent in any way.

Thanks to her Stollery team, Sophie can not only walk, but she can run! She has regular therapy, but overall she is very independent and living her best life.

As 2025 comes to a close, we hope you'll consider making a donation to support essential care for Stollery kids like Sophie, while also supporting the build of a new, stand-alone Stollery for the future.

⏰Make your donation before midnight on December 31: StolleryKids.com/donate

Introducing Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation volunteer, Yash*ta! 👋

Yash*ta started volunteering with the Foundation in April and has had the opportunity to participate in several events, including Simply Supper Ltd. Lemonade Stand Day, Stollery Superstars Party, Extra Life Edmonton Game Day, Snowflake Gala – and more!

When she's not volunteering, she works for the Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta (HREBA), bakes homemade treats for friends and colleagues, and has recently started swing dancing!

Let’s learn a bit about Yash*ta!

What is your favourite event to volunteer for? 📅

The Stollery parade at Spruce Grove Composite High School. The sense of community was incredible – families line the streets, kids were cheering, and there was so much joy in the air. Seeing how many people came together to support the Stollery made it such a fun, wholesome and memorable experience.

What has been your most impactful volunteer experience? 💜

Snowflake Gala – it was an incredibly elegant and inspiring evening that brought together so many generous supporters, families and community members in support of the Stollery.

What stood out most was witnessing the strength and joy of Stollery kids and their families — it was a powerful reminder of why this work matters and how deeply the community believes in supporting pediatric health care.

Thank you for all that you do to support Stollery kids, Yash*ta!

A warm meal can bring so much comfort during the holiday season — especially at the Stollery Children's Hospital. 🍽️💜

Today, our friends at Keyera sponsored a holiday meal for Stollery families at all three Stollery sites, complete with turkey, gravy, potatoes and all the fixings. Keyera is a long-time, generous Stollery supporter, having donated more than $300,000 to date.

It was wonderful to have volunteers from Keyera's team handing out meals today and connecting with families in-person! Thank you for bringing some extra warmth to hearts and tummies at the Hospital.
