Mistletoe Ball and Silent Auction

The Herbie Fund

The Herbie Fund is a volunteer based fundraising group that has been raising money for the Herbie Fund for for almost 30 years at The Hospital For Sick Children. The group is dedicated to bringing children from all parts of the world, who are in need of life-saving or life-altering surgeries to SickKids for medical treatment. It is "steadfast in their belief that no child should be denied medical care based on race, religion, geography, or financial status. They believe that the future of our world lies in the health and well being of our children, and that there is no higher generosity and compassion than to care for a child." [www.operationherbie.com] Financial support is provided so that children from all over the world can receive surgical treatment at The Hospital for Sick Children.

History of Herbie Fund

The Herbie Fund was established by Paul and Gina Godfrey at The Hospital for Sick Children in 1979 during the “International Year of the Child” in response to the needs of Herbie and children like him from around the world. Paul and Gina strongly believe that every child should have access to medical care, regardless of geographical location or financial position and their personal involvement in the creation of Operation Herbie is reflected in the values and philosophy behind the Herbie Fund.
