This is the time of the year when many individuals and corporations bestow their charitable gifts, the BCBC would be honoured if you would consider our traditional St Nicolas Fundraiser in your philanthropic plans.
We hold this fundraiser to support Dr. Luc Mertens and Dr. Matthias Dedobbeleer and the great work they do at the Heart Center and Peter Dirks Lab at SickKids. This initiative will contribute to important advances in child health research. Dr. Mertens and Dr. Dedobbeleer are originally from Belgium and are BCBC members. Our goal this year is to raise $15,000!

- December 4th from 2-4 pm and will include the presence of St. Nicolas! for children to enjoy. Please stay tuned for further details.
