MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR are so passionately engaged in helping Holland Bloorview be a world leader in helping those with childhood disabilities. I’m thankful to you, our donors, and grateful for your generosity, partnership and trust. Your gifts have been instrumental in creating research centres for autism and concussion injuries. You’ve helped establish research chairs in applied innovation and in the study of acquired brain injury. Your contributions have built a truly client-centred vision through the Family Leaders program. Cisco has been involved in the creation of Warmline, a family support service, and in the launch of filmpossible, an online video contest. We came in on the ground floor of the Change for Kids program and are now lending expertise to create a digital community where Holland Bloorview families, donors and partners will inspire each other to innovate and find new ways to create possibilities for children with disabilities. I’m confident that the Holland Bloorview Foundation and its donors will continue to seek opportunities to transform lives, connect Holland Bloorview to the world, and engage with even more people to impact the lives of children and their families.
Reflecting on my time as Chair of the Holland Bloorview Foundation’s Board of Directions, I recognize that much has been accomplished in our pursuit to create possibilities for children with disabilities. As a donor, I’m pleased to have helped those served by Holland Bloorview live life to the fullest. As President of Cisco in Canada, I’m proud of the ways in which the team here gives its time and expertise to sponsor and participate in so many hospital and foundation initiatives. And, as a member of the Foundation Board, it has been an absolute privilege to serve with others who

Nitin Kawale Chair, Board of Directors Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO Like you we want children to get back to doing what they love to do as quickly as possible. After all, your childhood is only a brief period of time in your life and we all want kids to cram as much adventure as possible into those first 18 years. Thank you for helping children with disabilities create their worlds of possibility. I would be grateful if you would join me in thanking Sheila Jarvis, the hospital’s President and CEO for 18 years of inspired leadership. Sheila will leave us soon but we will carry on with her bold vision that Holland Bloorview will be a world leader in childhood disability care, research and teaching. Holland Bloorview Foundation has benefited from innovative leadership as well. Board Chair, Nitin Kawale, and Campaign Co-chair, George Lewis, are completing their six-year terms. Since both will continue to be champions of Holland Bloorview we thank them for their exemplary service and welcome them as community partners. For those of you who have been long time, loyal donors to the hospital – and there are thousands of you who have made Holland Bloorview children a priority – you know that you are always a member of the family. Thank you Sheila, Nitin and George. Who creates possibilities? You do. This year’s report tells stories about you. Who you are, how you give, what you support and the impact your gifts are having on the big issues of the day, like kids’ concussion, autism, seamless transitions for youth to adult services and quality of life. We are incredibly grateful that you are so inspired by our innovative research and how it is transforming care, enabling communication and mobility, and developing new treatments and therapies for a large number of disorders and injuries.
I am confident you will enjoy reading about what you have made possible with your gifts of time, talent and money this past year. It is my hope that you will be inspired to support our work again in 2015. That’s the wonderful thing about possibilities; the rewards are infinite.

POSSIBILITIES THROUGH INNOVATION GETTING A HEADS UP ON KIDS’ CONCUSSION Imagine the disappointment of a high school athlete who has worked hard all year to get to the playoffs only to then suffer a concussion at practice and has to sit out the end of the season. According to the clinician scientists at Bloorview Research Institute, this is all too common, with two to three players on every Ontario hockey team experiencing a concussion each year. “It is our objective, through our research, to pioneer new sport-specific protocols which will retrain the brain as well as the body following a concussion”, says Dr. Michelle Keightley, Senior Clinician Scientist at Bloorview Research Institute and Holland Family Chair in Acquired Brain Injury. Last fall, Holland Bloorview launched its Concussion Research Centre dedicated to kids and youth. The centre, which is one of the first in the world, is funded, in part, through grants from the Canadian government and a $1 million gift from the Trillium Automobile Dealers Association (TADA).

2013 - 14 ANNUAL REPORT TO DONORS
“
Holland Bloorview’s Concussion Research Centre is focused on improving the lives of children and youth following concussion,” says Dr. Keightley. “Our research will be used to better understand pediatric concussion and manage this injury to get young people back to enjoying their lives.
”
The research project has a focus on identifying, assessing and managing the injury. The clinic will provide, among other services, education focused on concussion in youth.
“Until now, concussion research has largely focused on adults, but we know the brains and bodies of children and youth are continually developing and this makes them significantly more vulnerable to the effects of concussion,” says Dr. Keightley. “Our goal is to get kids back to doing the activities they enjoy. In doing so our aim is also to ensure that parents, doctors, teachers, coaches and youth have access to the right information at the right time and in the right way to allow us all to know what a concussion is and what to do when it is experienced.”
DR. MICHELLE KEIGHTLEY SENIOR CLINICIAN SCIENTIST, CONCUSSION RESEARCH CENTRE
$1 MILLION GIFT HELPS FUND CONCUSSION RESEARCH According to Benny Leung, children are our future. They are our hope. Last October, Trillium Automobile Dealers Association (TADA) made a generous $1 million donation to support Holland Bloorview’s Concussion Research Centre. The donation was made on behalf of the 1,100 new car dealers across Ontario, who also invest in their local communities. “Sports and play are important parts of any childhood because it keeps kids active and is a confidence booster, but it’s not without physical risks,” says Benny Leung, past president of TADA. “Many of our dealers support local sports teams within their communities and we thought it was a perfect fit for TADA to align itself with an organization that’s developing innovative research in youth concussion.”
“
Thanks to all the new car dealers in Ontario,” says Tracey Bailey, President and CEO of Holland Bloorview Foundation. “This donation will go a long way towards providing education, treatment and management of concussions in youth.
”
Benny sees TADA’s support of Holland Bloorview as a win-win, “It’s all about equipping Holland Bloorview’s researchers with the funds to do more research which will translate into findings that will produce better outcomes for kids with concussions.” HOLLAND BLOORVIEW KIDS REHABILITATION HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM POSSIBILITIES SUPPORTING ACCESS TO BETTER HEALTH Green Shield Canada (GSC) is a well-known national health and dental plan provider, but the organization is also deeply rooted in social responsibility and charitable giving.
Quality parenting plays a major role in child development, but there are very few opportunities for parents to access empirically supported parenting programs.
Last year, GSC’s Community Giving Program invested $20,000 in Stepping Stones Triple P, an evidence-based Positive Parenting Program offered at Holland Bloorview. The goal of the program is to provide support strategies to enhance positive parent-child interaction and social competence in children with autism spectrum disorders.
“We receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents who go through the program,” says Laura Williams, Director, Client and Family Integrated Care at Holland Bloorview. “Our surveys show that parents notice significant improvements in their parenting style, reduction in parenting stress and increased confidence in dealing with their child’s behaviour. We value Green Shield Canada’s contribution to this program and the investment that has been made in the health of our clients and their families.”
“
At Green Shield Canada, our mission is to create innovative solutions that improve access to better health for all Canadians,” says Sarah Saso, Executive Director of Green Shield Canada Foundation. “There are obvious gaps in the provision of health care and we feel it’s important to help narrow those gaps by providing support to Holland Bloorview through our Community Giving Program because it adds significant benefits to the health and well-being of children and families.

THE NEXT STEP IN AUTISM RESEARCH Kids with autism spectrum disorders present differently. Some avoid eye contact, others are nonverbal and many find social interaction challenging. Helping these children make those everyday human connections is at the heart of the vision and mission for the Autism Research Centre (ARC). From early intervention behavioural therapies to the investigation of new compounds, Dr. Evdokia Anagnostou, Dr. Jessica Brian and the amazing team in ARC work at every level to improve the quality of life for kids with autism. Dr. Anagnostou’s research to understand how medications or natural supplements help individuals improve their social interactions is highly regarded and very promising. Recently, she was awarded $2.5 million by the Government of Canada to partially fund the testing of new compounds for the treatment of autism. The research will be the first to introduce the use of a co-clinical trial model of investigation to the world of neurodevelopmental research. Proven successful in the development of cancer therapeutics, co-clinical trials may help investigators in isolating some of the individual causes of autism.
“
This funding is significant because we hope to use the co-clinical trial model to develop a better understanding of the causes of an individual’s autism, as well as their likelihood of responding to treatment with these new drugs,” says Dr. Anagnostou. “This research may help health care providers develop a personalized treatment plan to manage symptoms that a child with autism might find difficult. At the end of it all, my hope is that kids with autism have the ability to create meaningful connections and express themselves as they’re intended to.
”
DR. EVDOKIA ANAGNOSTOU CLINICIAN SCIENTIST, AUTISM RESEARCH CENTRE
ANXIETY METER = INDEPENDENCE Dr. Azadeh Kushki, an engineer at Holland Bloorview’s Autism Research Centre, has developed the Anxiety Meter, a small microprocessor worn on an armband that connects to sensors on the chest. Using a smart phone or tablet, kids can track changes in their level of stress. This provides kids with autism the independence to recognize anxiety levels and manage symptoms.
The results of such important clinical research are paramount to the future for children with autism. The funding provided by the government is only part of the equation. Thanks to donors like you, we are supporting ARC research to ensure these milestones will be reached. While the research continues, Dr. Anagnostou will use any and all means necessary to forge those important human connections with the children she meets. Take for example the client who had skilfully resisted all efforts by Dr. Anagnostou to be friends until that fateful day when they discovered they both liked the character Sheldon from the TV show The Big Bang Theory. There is always a way to connect. HOLLAND BLOORVIEW KIDS REHABILITATION HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

CLARENCE PORTER Grandfather “Last year, I submitted my short story, For Abbey, to filmpossible and was named the grand prize winner. The short was inspired by my 10-year-old granddaughter, Abbey, who uses a prosthetic leg. Abbey and her twin Grace, (I refer to them as “The Girlz”), have a wonderful zest for life and are full of determination. I decided to split my $5,000 prize amongst three organizations which have supported Abbey and Holland Bloorview is one of them. My family will forever be grateful to Holland Bloorview and my hope is that further innovations will help kids with disabilities play, participate and have fun with abandon.”
HURRIAN PEYMAN Son “My father, Bruce, had a lifelong interest in learning about autism spectrum disorders. Before he passed away, one of his final wishes was to support organizations that furthered the understanding and treatment of these disorders and to support families with members who have autism. My family lives in British Columbia and after researching several organizations, decided that we would fulfill my dad’s wish by supporting Holland Bloorview’s Autism Research Centre to help children with autism live happier, healthier and more satisfying lives.”
PAUL PERROW Donor “Growing up I witnessed the coordinated effort of family friends who cared for their son with cerebral palsy and was inspired by their determined commitment to provide him with a life that was full of endless possibilities. I’m committed to ensuring that kids with disabilities and their families receive the tools and resources to help them lead confident, independent and fulfilling lives.”

Participants served us with an impressive $8,000 in proceeds.
HOLLYWOOD GELATO DAY FOR HOLLAND BLOORVIEW A hot August day in Leaside encouraged local residents to flock to Hollywood Gelato for a cool treat. For the second year, the gelateria has donated proceeds from sales to Holland Bloorview. While patrons enjoyed thousands of scoops of gelato, the event raised $2,700!
Love was in the air at the 4th annual THREE TO BE Stems of Hope Gala. Just Be Love was the theme for the night and hundreds of guests enjoyed amazing food, artists, acrobats and an incredible performance by Salt-N-Pepa. Many ambassadors attended to mingle with guests and say thank you. The event raised $100,000 for Dr. Tom Chau’s Infinity Centre at Holland Bloorview. Since 2010, THREE TO BE has raised more than $600,000 for the hospital!

RECOGNIZING POSSIBILITIES
At seven-and-a-half-months-old, Liam was brought to Canada from Vietnam by his parents, Allan and Joanna. His adoption became official in 2011 and soon after he began receiving treatment at Holland Bloorview for arthrogryposis which presents as stiffness at many or all joints throughout the body.
HOLLAND BLOORVIEW: FAMILY PERSPECTIVES
“When we brought Liam to Toronto he didn’t have OHIP, so he received care at the free children’s hospital in Montreal and to get him the care he needed we did weekly commutes,” says Joanna. “Therefore, you can only imagine our joy when his adoption became official and he could finally receive treatment locally at Holland Bloorview.”
LIAM – BEGINNING THE HOLLAND BLOORVIEW JOURNEY
Over the past couple of years, Liam has gone from being immobile to steadily walking without assistance.
You’ve never met a kid with more joy, spunk and personality until you’ve met, four-year-old Liam.
“
We’ve witnessed a marked improvement in Liam’s mobility,” says Allan. “We feel that the staff at Holland Bloorview has set our family up for success by giving us the tools, resources and advice that will help our Liam grow into a confident and independent adult.
”
So far, Allan and Joanna have learned a lot from their Holland Bloorview journey. “Kids with disabilities are kids with abilities. It’s so important to appreciate the gaps because you respect and honour your child without judgment and feelings of isolation,” says Joanna. “We’ve noticed that Holland Bloorview has opened up Liam’s worldview as well. Liam is aware of his disability and is naturally curious about the kids he sees at the hospital. We think this is a wonderful thing because our hope is that his experiences will help him to grow into an open, accepting and compassionate person.” Holland Bloorview will provide rehabilitation services to Liam until he transitions to adult health care services at 18-years-old. “We’re in the early stages of our Holland Bloorview journey and we’re grateful for the care our son receives,” says Allan. “His specialist in the United States is always amazed that he’s walking independently and credits the exceptional care at Holland Bloorview for his gains. Right now, we’re looking forward to Liam starting school at Holland Bloorview in September and continuing to being partners in his care.” 24
2013 - 14 ANNUAL REPORT TO DONORS
CASEY – BACK ON HIS FEET After undergoing a hip osteotomy and lengthening of the hamstring on the right leg, Casey MacKay spent three months at Holland Bloorview undergoing intensive rehab. During his recovery, Casey spent his time earning credits towards the completion of his high school diploma, attending therapy sessions and hanging out with his new friends during recreation therapy activities.
“
My main goal was to get back on my feet before my discharge,” says 18-year-old Casey. “I’m so happy because I accomplished that and more before I got home on May 1. I can’t say enough about the Holland Bloorview staff – they were awesome! I was nervous at first because I didn’t know what rehab entailed but I felt safe very quickly.
”
Casey was adopted from Russia when he was just six-months-old and his parents were not informed about his complete medical history.
“My older son, Adam, wanted a brother and we were thrilled to welcome Casey into our family,” says Sharon MacKay. “When my husband and I first hugged Casey we figured he felt a bit stiff, but we were so overjoyed to bring him back to Canada. Within the first couple months and after a few pediatrician visits Casey was diagnosed with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy which mainly affects his legs.” Fast forward to today and Casey is getting prepared for his high school prom and has his sights set on a career in either print journalism or broadcasting. “I’m grateful to Holland Bloorview because I’m on my feet again and although I’ll soon transition out of receiving services at the hospital, in the meantime, I’ll continue to be involved in activities such as Youth@Work and the ambassador program,” says Casey. “I want people to know that kids with disabilities are not different, it just takes us a little longer to get things done and at Holland Bloorview they take good care of you.”
JESSICA – EMBRACING INDEPENDENCE David and Lynn Coriat are their daughter’s biggest advocates. At three-days-old, Jessica was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and faced numerous health challenges that affected her mobility. Since then, Jessica has had surgeries and rehabilitative therapy which has increased her mobility, confidence and independence.
“
My daughter is now 23 and transitioned from Holland Bloorview’s services when she turned 18,” says David Coriat, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer at Slaight Communications Inc. “While in her teens, Jessica needed a number of surgeries that required post-op therapy at Holland Bloorview. During her time there, Lynn and I were so impressed by her progress, the quality of care and range of services available to kids with disabilities that we felt compelled to support the hospital’s LIFEspan program.
”
The LIFEspan program was jointly developed by Holland Bloorview and Toronto Rehab to support teens in their transition from a pediatric to adult rehabilitation system. The program was designed to equip teens with skills and tools that would help them to advocate for themselves as they navigate the transition areas of funding, school, and medical services, community and life skills programs. “We’re so proud that Jessica is giving back by volunteering at Holland Bloorview,” says David.
