A fun socially distant winter fundraiser and awareness campaign to help The Snowsuit Fund keep kids warm.
The Ottawa business community, families, schools, community and sports teams are invited to create snow angels, gather donations and share images and videos to win prizes.
This activity has children, adults and teams playing and having fun safely outside while raising money for needed snowsuits. The initiative also underscores the importance of being warmly dressed to be able to participate outdoors during Ottawa’s winter season.
Ottawa winters are cold, yet year-round outdoor play contributes fundamentally to mental health, active and healthy lifestyles, as well as learning and development.
The Snowsuit Fund purchases and distributes more than 16,000 snowsuits annually to low-income children 15 years and younger in Ottawa, bringing dignity and hope to families struggling with the necessities of life. Our core mission is to ensure that Ottawa’s most vulnerable children can have warm snowsuits to play outside in winter – without their families having to sacrifice other priorities. A grassroots organization, we receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of caring groups and individuals who give their time, money and talents to help those less fortunate.
