BC Children’s Hospital Foundation
2009 / 2010 Annual Report
Brendan Whieldon was diagnosed with cancer at the age of four.
Today, after more than
1,000 days of chemotherapy, the 12-year-old
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.

Our 2009 Miracle Weekend revenues, which were announced in June 2009
and are included in our 2009-10 results, reflect fundraising that took place
in 2008 and early 2009 – the worst months of the recession. Although, at
15.3

million, 2009 Miracle Weekend revenues were down slightly from
the year before, it was still a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to
the loyalty of our donors and volunteers. This contributed to the Foundation’s

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.
Being the Difference 6
Message from the Campaign Chair
200
In December of 2009, we passed the halfway mark in the $
-million
Campaign for BC Children. As we publish this annual report, we’re at
million raised – a great accomplishment at any time, but particularly
$
so in the context of the economic uncertainty that extended well into our
2009-10 fiscal year.
107
During these tough times our friends have stood by us. In December 2009
we announced a gift to the campaign from Dr. Djavad Mowafaghian,
already BC Children’s Hospital’s single largest individual donor, as he
built on the $ -million pledge he made in late 2004 with a $ -million
gift to the campaign. BC’s Chinese-Canadian community has supported

These gifts were soon followed by significant commitments from Finning
and Capstone Mining Corp., who contributed $ million and $ million,
respectively.

In March 2010, Vancouver Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin, together
million to
with their wives Marinette and Johanna, made a gift of $
the campaign. The Sedins have directed their gift to the Pediatric Intensive
Care Unit and Diagnostics & Imaging area in the new hospital. Their decision
to allow us to announce their gift publicly also helped us raise awareness
of the campaign, as news media outlets across North America picked up
the story.
1.5
Over 208,240 prescriptions
were filled at BC Children’s
Hospital last year.
The average length of stay for
a patient at BC Children’s
Hospital is eight days.
The major gifts we’ve received reflect the campaign’s renewed momentum.
The campaign’s volunteer leadership and Foundation staff are actively
engaging potential donors and working with these prospects to identify
funding opportunities that meet their needs and interests.
Global BC remains a strong supporter of the campaign and BC Children’s
Hospital. Global’s frequent news stories and live broadcast appeals help
us reach out to British Columbians and inform them of both the need for a
new hospital and the impact that donations have on the children of this
province. In the past year, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group has also helped

draw attention to the campaign, airing the Foundation’s campaign
advertisements on its 19 BC radio stations. In April the Broadcast Group
announced that it would continue its support of the campaign for at least
another year.
Although the campaign is not complete and construction of the new hospital
has not yet started, it has already yielded tangible benefits to BC’s children
and youth and their families. Since the beginning of the campaign, Child
Health BC, one of the campaign priorities, has supported the opening or
expansion of five pediatric care facilities in Richmond, Nanaimo, Vernon,
Prince Rupert and Prince George. Each of these helps relieve BC families of
some of the burden of cost and travel otherwise associated with a visit to
Vancouver. Child Health BC’s activities are entirely donor-funded, thanks

CHAIR, THE CAMPAIGN FOR BC CHILDREN
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.
The Difference a Hospital Makes –
The Campaign for BC Children
200
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.
13,000
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.
These generous contributions,
along with those from thousands of
individual Superheroes, have pushed
the campaign total to over $
million, more than halfway toward the
campaign’s $
-million goal.

Campaign Priorities
Building the New BC Children’s Hospital
Teck Resources Limited made a $25-million
commitment in 2008 to name the new BC
Children’s Hospital building. Other naming
opportunities, including labs and hospital
wings, are available starting at $3 million.
Planning for construction of the new
Children’s Hospital is underway.
Construction of the Hospital will take
place in phases aimed at minimizing
disruption to ongoing care and
treatment. The first phase involves
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
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.
Making a Difference for Families in BC
Cardiac Sciences
51
– 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.
Centre for
International Child Health
914 – number of procedures performed
by the cardiac team at the Children’s Hospital of

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.
The Brighter Smiles, Africa Project successfully completed studies in improving dental
hygiene, created four health-promoting secondary schools and introduced a communityoriented curriculum in the dental school at
Makarere University. The project showed that
students can be engaged in working with their
communities on health education programs
and advocacy for improved health services. It
also exposed dental and medical students from
the University of British Columbia to the
health challenges in less developed countries.
Rehabilitative Training in Ladakh, India
Since 2007, a team of medical professionals,
including therapists and educators from
Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, has
travelled to Ladakh in June and July to train
local staff in meeting the needs of people with
disabilities. Accomplishments to date include
building awareness in remote villages of issues
for people with disabilities, facilitating
multiple health training workshops, and
designing/fabricating mobility devices and
a playground. Current work is focused on
establishing a new pediatric unit at the local
government hospital to assess and treat people
with disabilities.

– percentage of reduction in injury rates in
BC since the establishment of Safe Start
Each year, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation
provides approximately $13 million in funding to BC Children’s Hospital to support the
most urgent health needs of BC’s one million
children. These are priorities that have no
other source of funding. In 2009-10, over
$1.9 million was used to purchase clinical
equipment in the acute pediatric inpatient
and ambulatory programs including:
Seven incubators for premature infants in
the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
A heart-lung machine to support blood flow,
breathing, heart and other organ function
during pediatric open-heart surgery. The
$222,370 machine is engineered to ensure
children receive the safest care after surgery
and in critical situations.
Seven monitors designed to show a child’s
vital signs and alert caregivers to any
changes in a patient’s condition for quick
and appropriate treatment.
Excellence in Child Health – Equipment,
Education, Recruitment continued
A $253,500 fibre-optic Video Bronchoscope
System in the Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit that is light and easy to manoeuvre
for faster examination, which means less
discomfort for patients and safer procedures.
The i-STAT, a newly developed and
enhanced hand-held point-of-care blood
analyzer. 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.
Mental Health
13,005 – number of patient visits to
the Mental Health Outpatient Program in 2009
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.
Babies with Down syndrome have an extra
chromosome, which is the reason why
Maxxwell Soehn’s parents, Tom and
Cheryl, decided to use two “x”s in their
son’s name.
Maxxwell Soehn
Behind his endearing smile, the 18-monthold has endured three surgeries at BC
Children’s Hospital to repair holes in his
heart, all of which took place within his
first four months of life. The family visits the
Hospital for checkups every six months,
and Tom and Cheryl are hopeful that
Maxx won’t require additional surgeries.

The Family Resource
Library, located at BC
Children’s, is a consumer
health library that helps
families and those working
with them understand and
manage the needs of children
throughout their diagnoses,
tests and treatments.
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.
BC Children’s also has 30 inpatient beds for
children and youth requiring care for serious
mental-health conditions such as eating
disorders, and psychiatric emergencies.
Child Health BC
67 – percentage of children who visit BC
Children’s Hospital from outside the City

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
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.

affect their growth and development.
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’s activities, from multicentre research projects and the sharing
of findings at Canadian and international
Shannon Bromley has a rare genetic
neurological disorder called Angelman
syndrome. As a result, she can’t walk or
talk, and has underdeveloped motor skills
that can make even the act of looking
straight ahead a challenge.
Shannon Bromley
At a photo shoot for this publication,
Shannon was up for that challenge, smiling
at the camera and exercising her unique
gift for interacting and connecting with
others. Shannon’s medical and therapy
needs are managed by over 30 specialists
at BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill
Health Centre for Children. The 17-yearold attends school and loves to hang out
with her friends and ride her bike.
Sunny Hill Health Centre
for Children continued
conferences, to the provision of online
resources for community professionals, are
aimed at supporting families and providing
child development and rehabilitation workers
with the latest knowledge and resources.
Equipment purchases totalling $142,000
focused on improving the quality of the highly
specialized care required by children accessing
Sunny Hill’s services. These included an
innovative bath lift and an ultra-light
wheelchair used to assess a child’s ability
to use a wheelchair.
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
22 – number of bone marrow transplants
performed at BC Children’s Hospital in 2009
Caring for children with cancer requires a
dedicated multidisciplinary team. 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.
Childhood Cancer Programs & Research
continued
BC Children’s Hospital, under the leadership of Dr. Schultz, joined an experimental
phase-one clinical trial group called
Therapeutic Advances in Childhood
Leukemia and Lymphoma (TACL). The
TACL consortium was established to provide
a means for carrying out early studies of new
drugs in children with recurrent leukemia
or lymphoma. 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
400
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
Child & Family Research Institute
continued
10 Canadian centres for which CFRI
Scientist Dr. Jean-Paul Collet led the data
management component. Approximately
$1.5 million of the Network’s funding will
support the work led by CFRI researchers.
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.

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.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation Donor Bill of Rights
The Board of Directors of BC Children’s
Hospital Foundation is in place to ensure
that donors:
1) are informed of our mission, of the way we
intend to use donated resources, and of our
capacity to use donations effectively for
their intended purposes;
2) are informed of the identity of those serving
on our governing board, and to expect the
board to exercise prudent judgment in its
stewardship responsibilities;
3) have access to our most recent financial
statements;
4) are assured their gifts will be used for the
purposes for which they are given;
5) receive appropriate acknowledgement
and recognition;
6) are assured that information about their
donations is handled with respect and with
confidentiality to the extent provided
by law;
7) can expect that all relationships with
individuals representing our organization
will be professional in nature;
8) are informed whether those seeking
donations from our organization are
volunteers, employees of BC Children’s
Hospital Foundation, or hired solicitors;
9) can expect that BC Children’s Hospital
Foundation will not share or sell a mailing
list that includes the donor’s name;
10) feel free to ask questions when making a
donation and to receive prompt, truthful
and forthright answers.
If you would like to more information about
the Foundation’s fiscal activity or to receive our
audited financial statements, please contact us
at 604.875.2444 or visit www.bcchf.ca.
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.
