karate enthusiast has survived with his type of cancer longer than any other child in North America. Your donations have made a difference in

Brendan’s life – and in the lives of his family and friends. Every year, BC Children’s Hospital treats over

78,000 children like Brendan.

Every year, BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and the Child & Family Research Institute make a difference in

the lives of hundreds of thousands of British Columbians. What enables us to make a difference in so many lives? Our staff has a range of expertise that is unique in the province. The combination of specialized clinical care, basic and applied research, and training for tomorrow’s medical leaders

literally changes lives for the better. The new BC Children’s Hospital will further enhance the care we provide, defining the difference between basic care and excellence. Ultimately, though, we couldn’t do this without your support. What is the difference? It’s you.

In the past year British Columbians made a difference in the lives of BC’s children by donating to BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children or the Child & Family Research Institute.

Several thousand people decided to make a difference by volunteering for a variety of events across the province in support of the Hospital. Without million to meet their support, we would not have raised in excess of $ the Hospital’s urgent funding priorities – including research, equipment and education.

through Child Health BC – to children on Vancouver Island, in Northern BC, the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland. The Overwaitea Food Group, Child Health BC’s lead benefactor, has contributed millions to Child Health BC, allowing children to receive specialized care closer to home.

The campaign’s major priority, a new BC Children’s Hospital, will touch the lives of hundreds of thousands of children, many of whom are yet to be born. It will make a difference to the very future of this province.

This strong support came during one of the most challenging fiscal years in decades. The province was recovering from a global recession and people were understandably less inclined to reach for their wallets. Donations were down on all fronts, from major corporate gifts to grassroots giving.

It could have been considerably worse were it not for the people who, in spite of uncertainty and hardship, made a conscious decision to step up and support their Children’s Hospital. For this, we would like to convey our deepest gratitude.

So, while revenues were down from the prior year, we were still able to meet the Hospital’s urgent needs, make progress toward our campaign goal, and children who visit the make a difference in the lives of over Hospital every year.

The Child Life Program at BC Children’s Hospital helps children and youth cope with being at the Hospital and helps them understand their experiences through play, music, education and support.

Of course, our donors and volunteers weren’t the only ones who made a difference. Researchers brought new insights and understanding to the mysteries of childhood illnesses, and found ways to treat our children more safely. Doctors, surgeons, nurses and other caregivers and technicians shaped the experiences of children and families who turned to us for help by comforting, consoling, encouraging and saving lives.

And our families – “ours” because they do become part of the Hospital’s family – shared the worst, and best, moments of their lives on the radio, on television, in print and online so that British Columbians could better understand the impact that the Hospital has on so many lives, and the difference donated dollars can make.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your gift to BC Children’s Hospital really makes a difference, we hope you’ll find the proof in these pages that it does.

Thank you for your support.

Report of the President and Chair 4

It’s an understatement to say BC Children’s is Brendan Whieldon’s second home.

The 12-year-old has been coming to BC Children’s Hospital for two-thirds of his life to treat his neuroblastoma, a solid tumour cancer for which there is currently no cure. Brendan receives chemotherapy for one or two weeks every month at BC Children’s.

Brendan Whieldon Brendan started kindergarten and learned to read in the one-room school at Children’s.

Throughout his eight years at the Hospital he has befriended many patients, caregivers and donors, including Dr. Djavad Mowafaghian – the philanthropist who pledged $6 million in 2004 to rebuild the Hospital’s oncology wing. Brendan writes to Dr. Mowafaghian monthly to tell him about school, his love of rap music and everything in between. Brendan’s mom, Shannon, is grateful for each day she spends with her son and hopes that advances in research will one day lead to a cure for Brendan’s cancer.

Kate Bishop’s parents say their baby girl is no stranger to pain. The resilient oneyear-old has already undergone two heart surgeries, with more to come. Born prematurely, it didn’t take long for specialists at Children’s Hospital to recognize that Kate had a rare heart defect.

Kate Bishop Kate spent her first two months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, half of that time in an incubator with her parents only able to hold her twice a day. After her first surgery, Kate went home for three months – with a feeding tube, oxygen and a pavlik harness for a dislocated hip – until she grew strong enough for bypass surgery to repair her heart. She made an astonishing 10-day recovery from open-heart surgery in October 2009. Today, Kate loves swinging, going to the pool and pulling every single toy out of her toy box.

Meeting Luca Piccolo, one would never guess that this seemingly healthy nine-year-old battles a chronic, life-limiting illness every day. Luca has cystic fibrosis, a condition requiring regular checkups at BC Children’s Hospital, a strict regimen of care that includes hours of daily physiotherapy to clear his lungs and up to 30 pills a day to combat infection and assist with digestion.

Luca Piccolo Despite all this, Luca loves to play soccer and piano, and has shared his experience with his classmates and on a news story that aired in June on Global BC. Luca and his family are managing his CF well at home, but he is still susceptible to illness.

The treatments he receives at BC Children’s help him with his ongoing fight to stay as healthy as possible.

There are 132 beds staffed and in operation at the Hospital.

Over 960 children received life-saving care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last year.

The goal of the $ -million Campaign for BC Children is to ensure children and youth in BC and the Yukon have access to outstanding specialized pediatric care in a new BC Children’s Hospital building that encourages excellence, and that every child has access to a consistent standard of care, no matter where in this vast province and territory they live. Money raised during the Campaign for BC Children is being used to support the construction of a new Children’s Hospital on the current site, the relocation of child development and rehabilitation services from Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children to the site, and Child Health BC, a network of health authorities and caregivers across BC.

Since 2008 over British Columbians from 227 communities have made donations to the Campaign for BC Children. Nineteen donors have made contributions ranging from $1million to $25 million and 244 have made gifts of $10,000 or more.

The Foundation announced several major gifts to the campaign in the past year. These contributions to the new hospital include a $4-million gift from Dr. Djavad Mowafaghian; a $3-million gift from Capstone Mining Corp. for the new oncology outpatient clinic; a $5-million pledge from the Chinese-Canadian community for a new oncology inpatient unit; $1.5 million from Vancouver Canucks stars Daniel and Henrik Sedin and their wives Marinette and Johanna for the new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Diagnostics & Imaging area; and $1 million from long-time friend and supporter, Finning.

Construction of the Hospital will take place in phases aimed at minimizing disruption to ongoing care and treatment. The first phase involves Being the Difference 12

moving staff and services from areas slated for demolition or renovation.

The second phase involves the construction of the new hospital adjacent to the existing Ambulatory Care and Children’s Hospital buildings. Project completion is estimated for late 2015.

Relocation of Child Development and Rehabilitation Services from Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children

Approximately 5,000 kids from across BC receive development and rehabilitation services at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children each year.

Many children seen at Sunny Hill require regular medical care at BC Children’s Hospital. Relocation of services will eliminate the commute that staff and families must make today between Sunny Hill’s East Vancouver location and BC Children’s Hospital. Children and youth will benefit from care provided by a range of specialists in one location. The move will also enhance collaboration between researchers and clinicians and help to streamline diagnoses and the provision of therapy to children.

Improved Access to Pediatric Care through Child Health BC

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is raising $50 million for Child Health BC as part of the Campaign for BC Children. The Overwaitea Food Group became Child Health BC’s lead benefactor in 2008 with a gift of $20 million.

BC Children’s Hospital is responsible for providing care to close to one million children in BC – no matter where in the province they live. In response to the growing needs of BC’s child population, BC Children’s Hospital developed Child Health BC to help improve access to pediatric care and ensure all children have access to a consistent standard of care.

The goal is to enable children and families to receive the specialized care they need, closer to their homes.

Fear was among the first emotions experienced by Jitesh and Cristine, parents of Hans Gabriel Rana when, immediately following his birth, they were told he needed emergency surgery. Hans has pulmonary stenosis – a congenital heart disease in which outflow of blood from the heart’s right ventricle is obstructed at the pulmonic valve, causing a reduction of blood flow to the lungs.

Hans Gabriel Rana At BC Children’s Hospital, doctors, nurses and ultrasound technicians sat down with the worried parents and drew diagrams to explain Hans’ problems. By the end of that meeting, Jitesh and Cristine had a new appreciation for the intricacies of the human heart and knew without a doubt that their baby boy was in the best of hands.

Hans may need more surgeries as he grows, but for now Jitesh and Cristine are busy keeping up with their energetic toddler.

– percentage of open-heart surgeries performed on children less than a year old in 2009 Over 400 children in BC had cardiac surgery at BC Children’s Hospital in 2009, including 169 infants, almost a quarter of whom were less than a month old.

Over 42,000 kids visit the Emergency Department at BC Children’s every year – 80 to 140 children a day.

The Children’s Heart Centre at BC Children’s Hospital launched the Invasive Electrophysiology Program in 2009 with support from the Provincial Health Services Authority and the Foundation. Close to 40 patients received successful cardiac ablation procedures through the program in the past year, eliminating their long-term reliance on medication to regulate their heartbeat. Caregivers see the program expanding in the future with plans to hire a second physician. This will allow them to treat more BC children and reduce the need for families to leave the province for care.

Last year the Hospital upgraded two of the older echocardiography machines and can now generate three- and four-dimensional echocardiograms (ECHOs), making diagnoses of heart conditions in children even more accurate and surgeries safer than ever before.

In the past 30 years, the number of ECHOs performed in utero has increased steadily.

BC Children’s Hospital now performs approximately 800 fetal ECHOs annually.

These procedures allow heart abnormalities to be identified early in pregnancy, and permit immediate planning to address an infant’s health needs after birth.

Most of the 5,647 visits from children and infants were on an outpatient basis. Over 900 children were seen in their home communities through travelling clinics.

Each year more than 100 children with pacemakers and implantable defibrillators receive care at the Children’s Heart Centre.

BC Children’s Hospital is a leader in noninvasive imaging of congenital heart disease, and echocardiography is the mainstay of assessing the heart’s structure and function.

Over 100 kids are newly diagnosed with cancer in BC every year.

Children spent a total of 62,377 days as inpatients at BC Children’s Hospital last year.

Since 2004, the Centre for International Child Health (CICH) has been making a difference for children around the world. With generous support received through BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, caregivers at BC Children’s collaborate with international partners to build capacity and knowledge in pediatric health care in China, Uganda and India.

Canada-China Partnerships During the five-year partnership between CICH and Children’s Hospital of Fudan University (CHFU), the cardiac team at Fudan almost tripled its capacity to care for children with complex congenital heart disease. With project support the CHFU has created a training centre and provided training to caregivers at Tai-an Children’s Hospital in Shandong, Urumqi Children’s Hospital in Xinjiang and Yancheng Hospital in Jiangsu. These accomplishments are the result of visionary contributions from Madam Lucina Laam Ho and the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation.

Thanks to support from the ZeShan Foundation and an anonymous donor, 22 Chinese specialists trained for a year in infectious diseases or emergency medicine with Canadian

faculty at CHFU in Shanghai. They then received training in Canada. Six trainees in emergency medicine will finish their sixmonth training in Canada in September 2010.

The Fu Tak Iam Foundation Ltd. and an anonymous donor are benefactors of the Advancing Disability and Epilepsy Care for Children in China Program, now in its second year of operation. This four-year project aims to help the Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Centre increase its capacity to diagnose and manage seizure disorders, neuromotor disabilities and developmental disorders in children. It is also intended to decentralize services by strengthening capacities in municipal or district hospitals. Last year, two specialists, a physiotherapist and a developmental pediatrician from Guangzhou trained for three months in BC. BC Children’s caregivers also made regular teaching trips to Guangzhou.

Canada-Uganda Partnerships An anonymous donor is supporting two partnership projects with Makarere University and Mulago National Hospital in Uganda.

The Building Capacity in Child Care in Uganda Project has greatly strengthened local capacity in child and maternal health training, helped restructure pediatric emergency services at Mulago Hospital and established a family-community medicine training program in all four medical schools in the region.

About the size of a cellular phone, it analyzes blood chemistry in two minutes or less, requiring less blood than conventional tests – only two to four drops – greatly reducing the fear and discomfort children may associate with blood tests.

The Radiology Department performs 54,000 radiological procedures a year. If a patient is too ill to come to the department or is having a surgical procedure performed, a portable X-ray machine can be taken to the patient’s bedside or operating room table.

The Telethon Awards Competition funded seven awards totalling $178,655 for innovative clinical child-health projects.

The competition has provided over $1million in five years to junior researchers yet unable to attain support from larger funding organizations and to clinical staff conducting projects that lead to improvements in child health care.

In addition, $720,000 went to support fellowships, the subspecialty training and recruitment of pediatric doctors that enables the highest quality of care for BC’s kids.

Seven physicians in Anesthesia, Radiology, Psychiatry, Neurosurgery, Medical Genetics, Orthopedics, and Infectious & Immunological Disease were funded as well as eight fellowships in Endocrinology, Emergency, Developmental Pediatrics, Gastroenterology and Neurology.

Approximately 3,500 British Columbian children and teens made more than 13,000 visits to the Mental Health Outpatient Program at Children’s Hospital last year.

Mental Health & Addictions programs and clinics at BC Children’s provide assessment and care for children and adolescents with mental-health and substance-use conditions.

Programs are designed to meet the needs of children and their families.

A total of $375,000 was provided to stimulate the development of new programs and enhance the quality of services provided to children in BC. One example is Safe Start, a nationwide leader in injury prevention, allotted $125,000 for the implementation of provincial programs and infrastructure, including the funding of child car seats given to families in need.

With an estimated 140,000 children and adolescents in our province suffering from brain and behaviour problems ranging from anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder to depression and schizophrenia, advocates and caregivers at the Hospital continue to promote the view that mentalhealth and substance-use disorders must be perceived in the same way as other medical conditions.

The Provincial Child & Youth Healthy Living Initiative is a comprehensive program launched by BC Mental Health & Addiction Services that promotes physical fitness, good nutrition and healthy lifestyle among children and youth, and their families, receiving treatment for mental health and substance use. Close to 20,000 children and youth, as in- or outpatients, will benefit from this program. Funded by RBC in 2009, the initiative features a state-of-the-art metabolic clinic at BC Children’s Hospital, a provincewide outreach program with resources and an interactive online community for kids and their families.

67 – percentage of children who visit BC Children’s Hospital from outside the City of Vancouver The mission of Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital, is to build an integrated and accessible system of care by bringing together partners from the health authorities, various ministries and community health practitioners to improve children’s and families’ access to high-quality health services across the province.

Each year over 52,000 patients travel to BC Children’s Hospital for medical care from communities across British Columbia. These trips often pose enormous financial and emotional burdens on children and families.

Since 2007, Child Health BC has supported the construction and development of specialized pediatric clinics and programs in BC communities, including Nanaimo, Richmond, Prince Rupert, Prince George and the Okanagan, so children and families can access the care they need closer to home.

In December 2009, an expanded clinic – made possible by a $854,650 contribution from Child Health BC – opened at Prince George Regional Hospital, now the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia, Prince George. The clinic offers specialized services in rheumatology (arthritis), nephrology (kidney), respirology (asthma and cystic fibrosis), endocrinology and diabetes. The funding helped to expand and equip the existing pediatric ambulatory space at the University Hospital and will cover operating expenses for the first two years. Ongoing operating funding will be provided by the province, through Northern Health, starting in 2011. By providing examination space close to the pediatric ward, pediatricians at the University Hospital can now see outpatients without compromising their availability to patients on the pediatric floor and in the delivery room for emergencies. This facilitates a better coordination of care for children who

Being the Difference 20

must also see other child-health specialists in areas such as nutrition and physiotherapy, and reduces waiting time. The clinic is also set up for future expansion.

Each year Child Health BC presents a series of knowledge translation and consultation workshops. From October 2009 to January 2010, Child Health BC held workshops on pediatric chronic pain, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, the Provincial Newborn Screening Program for Cystic Fibrosis and the care of newborn infants with cystic fibrosis. These workshops provided opportunities for collaborating on best practices, identifying gaps in care, translating policy into practice, and developing interprofessional regional subspecialty teams to build regional capacity throughout BC. Participants representing multidisciplinary teams from the health authorities attended these workshops.

Child Health BC’s activities are donor-funded, primarily by a $20-million pledge of support from lead benefactor, the Overwaitea Food Group, through BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Each year more than 5,000 children visit Sunny Hill for conditions that affect their ability to talk, walk, move, sense and interact with others. These kids may experience physical or motor development challenges including cerebral palsy and brain injuries.

They may be non-verbal, or have complex developmental behavioural issues and their families may come to the centre with a query of autism or fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Caregivers at Sunny Hill aim to help these children reach their full potential, regardless of their level of ability.

In 2009-10, the Child Development & Rehabilitation Evidence Centre at Sunny Hill focused on increasing evidence use by clinicians and health-professional students at Sunny Hill and in BC’s child development centres.

Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children offers specialized services to children with development and rehabilitation needs and their families from communities throughout BC.

Funding of $165,000 went toward fellowship training in developmental pediatrics. At the completion of their two years of training, the two trainees funded will be fully qualified developmental pediatricians meeting the training requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

“I Can Talk, Too” – the only program of its kind in BC – provided more than 87 pieces of assistive-technology equipment to help kids across the province communicate with family and friends. Talking computers, writing aids, computer accessories and specialized software are all available on loan to kids with communication challenges.

Childhood Cancer Programs & Research

BC Children’s Hospital is the only facility in BC with the range of expertise required to ensure accurate diagnosis and safe, effective treatment for children with cancer. In 2009, 108 BC kids were newly diagnosed with cancer, and the Hospital’s Oncology/ Hematology/Bone Marrow Transplant clinics received 8,379 visits from children. Last year, 761 children received active cancer treatment at BC Children’s.

Clinical and laboratory research at BC Children’s and the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), located on the Hospital site, are contributing to the gradual improvement in the childhood cancer survival rate, which stands today at about 80 per cent.

The clinical research team, led by Dr. Mason Bond, is a leading group within the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) – an international research collaboration dedicated to curing or preventing childhood cancer. Dr. Kirk Schultz is a pediatric oncologist at BC Children’s Hospital and is head of the Childhood Cancer & Blood Research Program at CFRI.

One of the new TACL trials will explore a new immune therapy for childhood leukemia and will be focused on translational research performed at BC Children’s Hospital and CFRI. Professional social workers in the Social Work Department provide assessments; individual, family and group counselling; financial/practical assistance; facilitate parent groups and link families with community resources.

Results of a phase-two clinical trial show that adding continuous daily doses of a targeted drug called imatinib mesylate to regular chemotherapy more than doubled three-year survival rates – to 87 per cent – for children with a type of blood cancer called Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The COG performed the study at 20 North American centres.

CFRI received a $1-million grant from the

Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to study biomarkers in graft-versushost disease (GVHD). GVHD, in which the body’s immune system attacks the donated cells, is a common complication that can occur after a bone marrow transplant.

Approximately 50 per cent of people who receive a blood and bone marrow transplant from a non-genetically identical donor

develop GVHD. This grant will enable researchers to identify and validate GVHD biomarkers – molecules or substances that, when measured, indicate the risk or progression of the disease – and contribute to the development of more effective treatment and new therapies.

Dr. James Lim joined the Childhood Cancer & Blood Research Program in June 2009. His research is focused on understanding the differences between healthy and diseased cells in order to explore new strategies for treating blood diseases.

Dr. Christopher Maxwell, who was recruited to CFRI in November 2009, is investigating cell division with the goal of finding new, more effective therapies and improving survival in childhood and adult cancers.

CIHR awarded Dr. Catherine Pallen a five-year operating grant for her work with the neurobiology of protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha, a molecule that regulates molecular communication in cells.

Malfunctioning molecular communication is well established as the basis of several human diseases, including cancer.

Child & Family Research Institute

One in – children and adolescents who are affected by diabetes in BC Research opens the door to new, undiscovered and better forms of medicine. In 2009-10, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation committed $9,348,000 in operational support to the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), making it possible to expand upon and recruit great minds to lead the programs and labs in which new treatments and cures for childhood illnesses are found.

A new level 3 bio-containment lab, built in 2009, will allow researchers at CFRI’s Centre for Understanding and Preventing Infection in Children to study contagious and life-threatening illnesses such as tuberculosis and the Avian flu in a secure environment.

In work published last year in the journal Nature Genetics, researchers identified variations in two genes that predict which children will likely suffer hearing loss as an adverse effect of a lifesaving anti-cancer drug, cisplatin. Principal investigators Dr. Michael Hayden of CFRI’s Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics and Dr. Bruce Carleton aim to develop a saliva test for use in the clinic to indicate which kids are at increased risk of deafness, allowing individual treatments to be geared toward preventing such disability.

Dr. Daniel Goldowitz will lead NeuroDevNet, a national research network for understanding brain development in children. Awarded $19.5 million over five years from the Networks of Centres of Excellence of Canada, NeuroDevNet focuses on genetic and environmental causes of cerebral palsy, autism and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

CFRI was awarded a total of $9.8 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and BC Knowledge Development Fund to build a Child & Family Research Imaging Facility equipped with a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and stateof-the-art lab. With Dr. Steven Miller as the facility’s principal investigator, the new MRI will help to uncover the mysteries of the childhood brain and other areas of child health.

The Diabetes Research Program acquired a powerful microscope and digital imaging system that reveals the real-time response of living cells to new drugs. The Deltavision Live Cell Imaging System shows researchers how cells respond to different therapies, increasing the potential for faster, more accurate diagnoses and treatments.

CFRI Scientist Dr. David Scheifele led rapid vaccine trials to determine the safety, effectiveness and dosing schedule for a pandemic vaccine in the national Influenza Research Network. The Network involves

Surgery

12,219 – number of surgical hours clocked by surgical teams at BC Children’s Hospital in 2009

The Nutrition Clinic provides nutrition assessment and counselling to children from across the province, either on site or via telehealth.

Surgeons at BC Children’s Hospital are committed to providing BC kids with the safest and most effective care. As such, they are constantly on the search for newer, better and less invasive types of therapies and treatments.

In 2009, surgical teams at BC Children’s Hospital performed 8,187 inpatient and outpatient operations.

Last year, the orthopedic team introduced a less invasive procedure to treat children with scoliosis – a condition that causes the spine to curve. Rather than a large, muscle-cutting incision to permit access to the spine, this pioneering technique involves only three small incisions in a patient’s back which allow “minimal access” placement of two rods alongside the vertebrae to straighten and stabilize the spine. Patients benefit from

dramatically reduced post-operative pain and recovery time – from staying for several weeks at the Hospital and one to two months at home to just five days at the Hospital. The procedure also eliminates the need for the child to wear a body brace after surgery, something that was required for weeks to months following the open procedure.

In July 2009, a six-year-old patient became the first child in Canada and youngest person in the world to receive a diaphragmatic pacer implanted by BC Children’s Hospital general surgeons using a minimally invasive technique. The pacer gives children who rely on a ventilator to assist with their breathing the ability to breathe without mechanical support for up to 24 hours a day. The pacer consists of a small external battery pack and control unit that is connected to four electrodes implanted on the inner surface of a child’s diaphragm.

The control unit sends an intermittent electric pulse to the electrodes, which stimulate the phrenic nerves and cause the diaphragm to contract and in turn, the child to inhale. The surgery was performed laparoscopically so only small incisions were made and the risk of infection and complications was dramatically reduced. The diaphragmatic pacer also improves a child’s ability to speak and helps to restore their sense of smell and taste. More importantly, children are freed from the burden of manoeuvring around with a bulky ventilator, giving them and their families more mobility and control of their environment.

To her older brother’s chagrin, Sophie Gellert of Langley grew four centimetres in height in a single day. That’s because the 13-year-old underwent major surgery to straighten an almost 90-degree curve in her spine caused by scoliosis.

Sophie Gellert During her 10-hour surgery at BC Children’s Hospital, surgeons removed several discs from Sophie’s upper back, fused part of her spine and snapped a steel rod into place between rows of the 22 screws they fixed to her backbones. This is what holds her spine in its new position. Four days after the operation, Sophie was already on her feet and able to walk slowly with a bit of assistance. She returned to school a month later. Today, Sophie is happy to be standing tall and free of pain.

Sevina Samra has reasons to say her 11-year-old son Suneil is mature for his age.

When Suneil was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes – a condition that entails lifelong diet monitoring and having his finger pricked eight to 12 times a day to check blood sugar levels – the then-six-year-old only had “one big cry” and hasn’t let diabetes stop him since.

Suneil Samra Suneil visits the Endocrinology Clinic at BC Children’s Hospital every six months to check his blood sugar and weight and to have his diet reviewed. He loves swimming, playing soccer and has the leading child actor role in a movie that will be released in fall 2010.

Report from the Finance Committee The impact of the global recession is reflected in the Foundation’s consolidated revenues of $56.4 million for the 2009-10 year. While, as anticipated, revenues fell short of the $68.7 million reported in the prior year, they exceeded our expectations.

The Partners in Care Family Advisory group provides resources and guidance to strengthen collaboration of professionals and families who use BC Children’s Hospital. At the heart of family-centred care is the belief that health-care providers and the family are partners, working together to best meet the needs of the child.

The decline in consolidated revenue was due in part to reduced investment and endowment income as rates of return remain low in the post-recession environment. In addition, major gift income was lower than in the year prior because, as the recession took hold, the Foundation determined that while it would continue a dialogue with prospects, it was not appropriate to ask for major gifts in such a time of uncertainty. Miracle Weekend revenue for the 2009-10 year also declined to $15.3 million from $15.6 million in the year prior. Although consolidated revenue declined in most areas year over year, the Foundation did not record pledge loss, indicating existing donors remained committed to honouring pledges made prior to the recession.

The Foundation reduced expenses by six per cent, and saw revenue from its lottery increase by four per cent, but these changes were not enough to offset the drop in major gift revenue.

In December of 2009, the Foundation passed the halfway mark in the $200-million Campaign for BC Children, with announced campaign revenues of $107 million. Major gift activity related to the campaign has resumed and several major gifts were recorded in the latter part of 2009 and early 2010. In 2009-10, Child Health BC, a campaign priority funded by the Overwaitea Food Group, announced the opening of an expanded specialized pediatric clinic in Prince George, building on Child Health BC’s support of facilities in Richmond, Vernon, Prince Rupert and Nanaimo.

The Campaign for BC Children, which will support the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and Child Health BC, remains a priority for the Foundation. In addition, the Foundation remains committed to meeting the most urgent needs of BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and the Child & Family Research Institute.

Jennifer Burgess knows if she had waited a few more weeks before bringing her daughter, Sierra, to the doctors she might have lost her. What were seemingly flu-like symptoms – fatigue, bruising, paleness, lethargy – turned out to be high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Sierra Whyte Since her diagnosis in January 2010, Sierra has had over 30 blood and platelet transfusions, a lumbar puncture, bone marrow biopsies and rounds of intravenous chemotherapy at BC Children’s Hospital.

Sierra spends alternating weeks at home and at the Hospital and is slated to undergo 22 more months of treatment. The prognosis for the two-year-old is positive and Jennifer is grateful to Children’s teams of specialists for saving her daughter’s life.

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 53

Baby Cienna and her four-year-old sister Emily have more in common than just genetics. Like 42,000 other BC kids every year, both girls have been rushed to Emergency at BC Children’s Hospital.

While Emily was treated for a broken elbow, Cienna suffered a life-threatening blue spell.

Cienna & Emily Manaktahla Only five hours after birth, Cienna stopped breathing. Doctors intubated her in Surrey, but couldn’t get her breathing on her own.

She was transferred to BC Children’s Hospital and stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for six days where she was given antibiotics, X-rays, a CT scan and a battery of diagnostic tests. Recovering from what was likely an infection acquired at birth, Cienna hasn’t been back since, and Emily’s elbow is back in full swing.

Ways of Giving There are many ways to make a gift to benefit BC’s kids.

Bequest in Your Will

A bequest is a direction in your will that a certain sum of money, a particular asset, or a portion of the estate is to be given to British Columbia’s Children’s Hospital Foundation (our legal name).

Life Insurance

Giving life insurance is a way of making a gift without depleting your estate or depriving your loved ones of other assets. At the end of your lifetime, the gift of the policy proceeds will be paid by the insurance company directly to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Depending on how the policy is structured, you may receive a tax benefit during your lifetime or your estate will receive the benefit.

Flow-through Shares

Publicly traded flow-through shares for which the hold period has expired are an effective way to give. Flow-through shares – shares of Canadian mining, oil and gas companies – have unique tax incentives that, when combined with a charitable tax receipt, offer even bigger tax savings.

Publicly Traded Securities

Donating securities is the most effective way to give. If you own publicly traded securities that have increased in value and you decide to sell them, 50 per cent of the capital gain is taxable. However, if you donate these securities “in kind” to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, no tax is payable on the capital gain. The resulting tax credit from the donation

of the securities will reduce taxes payable on other income. Making a gift of publicly traded securities to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is easy to do. Please contact us for a transfer form to facilitate the process.

RRSP/RRIF

You can name BC Children’s Hospital Foundation as the direct beneficiary of the proceeds of a RRSP or RRIF or you can make a gift to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in your will. The resulting tax credit may be used to offset the tax payable on the redemption of the proceeds of the retirement plan.

Pledges

Our pledge program offers you a convenient method of making contributions. The program allows you to spread your contribution over three to five years, usually commencing the year the pledge is made. You will receive full recognition for the value of your contribution as soon as the commitment is made.

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is a registered Canadian charity and issues tax receipts for all donations. Tax credits generated by donations can offset tax otherwise payable on up to 75 per cent of your net income in the year of the gift. Any unused tax credits may be carried forward and used to offset taxes over the following five years.
