Top Six Holiday Gifts that Help Saskatchewan Kids This Season

The countdown is on to the holidays, but there’s still time to find a meaningful gift for everyone on your “nice” list. Give a gift with heart this season and help Saskatchewan kids and families at the same time when you purchase one of our top six creative and philanthropic gift giving options.

ONE. Prairie Proud

Show off your prairie roots with a Prairie Proud shirt, bunny hug, hat, or sunglasses for the guys, gals, or little ones in your life. For every purchase, $1-3 will be donated to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. Visit the Saskatoon store or purchase online at www.prairieproud.ca.

 

TWO. Cuddle up!Bring home a sweet Brickley Bear from The Brick for the little one on your list. He’s cute, he’s cuddly and 100% of the proceeds support sick and injured children in Saskatchewan which makes this superhero bear a bargain at just $20. Pick him up in store or online at http://www.thebrick.com/product/item/furniture/kids-and-teens/accents/superhero-brickley-bear/1852281.

THREE. A Heartfelt Read

The Days That Are Given Us is an intimate look into the life of a family afflicted by childhood cancer. Follow their story as they take on the challenges and struggles of fighting infant leukemia. See how Lucian, diagnosed at the tender age of six months, brought together a Saskatchewan family in a way they didn’t even know they needed. Whether it was staying in the hospital for weeks on end, dealing with the side effects of chemotherapy, or adjusting to a life of isolation, Lucian made sure to seize every day and make the most of his circumstances. Nothing is held back in this first-hand account from the parents who experienced the emotional highs and lows of having such a bright and beautiful son fight such a deadly and aggressive disease.
