We are Tech+Biz4SickKids.

We’re a collective of innovators, changemakers, and entrepreneurs who believe in the future of healthcare for the next generation on a mission to raise $1 Million dollars a year to support Precision Child Health at SickKids to diagnose faster, treat smarter, and predict better.

Who is
Tech+Biz4SickKids?

A fresh iteration of the #Tech4SickKids council which was founded in 2018, #TechBiz4SickKids is an initiative that brings together change-makers and leaders in a multitude of verticals to support SickKids – a hospital ranked as the top pediatric hospital that we are lucky to have in our own backyard. Tech4SickKids supported SickKids in its game-changing AI work through over $9 million dollars in donations.

Now, #TechBiz4SickKids is aiming to raise $1+ million dollars a year to support its Precision Child Health (PCH) campaign, called ‘Heal the Future.’ With PCH, SickKids aims to diagnose faster, treat smarter, and predict better.
