EVENTS & FUNDRAISERS

Support

Since its inception more than 24 years ago, the Centre has operated without government funding. It exists primarily because of donations from local businesses, corporations, financial institutions, civic groups, churches and concerned individuals. This requires continued fundraising by teams of volunteers, who believe the Centre makes a difference in the lives of children served at the Centre. Our status is unique in Ontario, and our independence of any government body and its higher administrative costs means more funds collected go directly into treatment.

The Centre’s five major fundraising events are:

Celebrity Walk & Breakfast

The event, started by the local daily newspaper, The Standard-Freeholder, is the Centre’s largest annual fundraising event held each fall. It raises an average of $150,000. The participants each donate $100 or obtain pledges, and their pictures are then published in The Standard-Freeholder.

Bike-A-Thon Plus

This is the Centre’s second largest fundraising event, held in May every year and raises over $100,000. The Bike-A-Thon Plus features various activities which meet the needs and interests of all age groups.

Charity Auction & Dinner

This event held every February has both live and silent auctions, and raises about $50,000 a year.

Dinner & Roast

The Centre has been successful in inviting a number of personalities of national prominence to this event including two former prime ministers, four former premiers, four former cabinet ministers and three senators. This event usually raises close to $20,000.00.

Sponsor of the Day

This fundraising event is presented by the three local media. For a donation of $100.00, you can have an ad published in the local daily newspaper, aired on two local radio stations twice a day, and shown on our local cable television. These ads are provided to the Centre by these media free of charge. The Sponsor of the Day raises $30,000 for the Centre.

Memories of this Children’s Treatment Centre fundraiser could last forever. A father and son team in Cornwall has planned a James Bond themed event that’ll have the feel of a Hollywood premiere, a special screening of the iconic 1995 spy film Goldeneye on Oct. 21, at a Port Theatre that will look even better than when it opened 80 years ago.

The Children’s Treatment Centre (CTC) closed off 2021 with some good news — a $10,000 donation from its longest-standing donor. The relationship between the former Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall — which recently merged with the Archdiocese of Ottawa — and the CTC goes back to 1996, when the centre first opened its doors.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP

Support

We’ve been able to help over 2,782 kids from over 2,404 families since we began our efforts back in 1996 and all of our efforts continue to be funded entirely by the community we serve. The need is still very prevalent today and we urge you to help out with a donation or by supporting one of our many fundraisers held throughout the year.

We have a number of ongoing support and fundraising initiatives available to you throughout the year. See below for more details on some of the ways you can help protect the children of our community.

Fundraisers & Events

Throughout the year, we host fundraising events encouraging the public to get involved and learn more about our mission and community services. These events are the major way for us to drive donations and continue to fund our efforts throughout the year.

Corporate & Patron Sponsors

Many groups, organizations and individuals join our efforts by sponsoring The Children’s Treatment Centre or specific events and projects. Mostly, the sponsorships come through donations, however we have some that are through in-kind services.

Sponsor of the Day

One of our most popular sponsorships is the ‘Sponsor of the Day’ where individuals can join the hundreds of supporters that help us out through donations to wish greetings, in memoriam or for a business/organization to show its support. In turn, we include their name in our ‘Sponsor of the Day’ advertising in the newspaper, on the radio, and our local cable television.

Special Occasion Gifts

Some of our support comes through memorial donations and special occasion gifts. Please contact us, via email or phone, to discuss the details or find out more info. Click here to fill out our contact form.
