The Importance of Contributions

The Herbie Fund main contributor is Sick Kids Hospitals who holds a partnership with them. Sick Kids Hospitals aids the Herbie Fund by allowing children to converse with the doctors who are going to operate on them and help with rehabilitation from their surgery. Also, it shows on the Herbie Fund site that doctors who are employed at Sick Kids help contribute  because of the medical knowledge they have to operate on the children. This is a start for the Herbie Fund because they have Sick Kids as a partner which is known throughout the world but it does not mean that there should be only one stable contributor for the Herbie fund. Instead, there are contributors who come in during specific events the Herbie fund holds. It is important for companies, and people to contribute to the Herbie Fund on regular bases as it gives more opportunity for children to be accepted to have surgery.

These are some of the supporters that helped with the Walk for the Children
