BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 2009 / 2010 Annual Report
Brendan Whieldon was diagnosed with cancer at the age of four.
Today, after more than 1,000 days of chemotherapy, the 12-year-old
karate enthusiast has survived with his type of cancer longer than any
other child in North America. Your donations have made a difference in
Brendan’s life – and in the lives of his family and friends. Every year,
BC Children’s Hospital treats over 78,000 children like Brendan.
Every year, BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for
Children and the Child & Family Research Institute make a difference in

the lives of hundreds of thousands of British Columbians. What enables
us to make a difference in so many lives? Our staff has a range of expertise
that is unique in the province. The combination of specialized clinical care,
basic and applied research, and training for tomorrow’s medical leaders
literally changes lives for the better. The new BC Children’s Hospital will
further enhance the care we provide, defining the difference between basic
care and excellence. Ultimately, though, we couldn’t do this without
your support. What is the difference? It’s you.
Report of the President and Chair 2
Report of the President and Chair
In the past year 107,127British Columbians made a difference in
the lives of BC’s children by donating to BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny
Hill Health Centre for Children or the Child & Family Research Institute.
Several thousand people decided to make a difference by volunteering for a
variety of events across the province in support of the Hospital. Without
their support, we would not have raised in excess of $15million to meet
the Hospital’s urgent funding priorities – including research, equipment
and education.
The Campaign for BC Children passed the $100-million mark in
December 2009. Gifts to this campaign are already making a difference
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 3
through Child Health BC – to children on Vancouver Island, in Northern
BC, the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland. The Overwaitea Food Group,
Child Health BC’s lead benefactor, has contributed millions to Child
Health BC, allowing children to receive specialized care closer to home.
The campaign’s major priority, a new BC Children’s Hospital, will touch
the lives of hundreds of thousands of children, many of whom are yet to be
born. It will make a difference to the very future of this province.
This strong support came during one of the most challenging fiscal years
in decades. The province was recovering from a global recession and people
were understandably less inclined to reach for their wallets. Donations
were down on all fronts, from major corporate gifts to grassroots giving.
It could have been considerably worse were it not for the people who, in
spite of uncertainty and hardship, made a conscious decision to step up and
support their Children’s Hospital. For this, we would like to convey our
deepest gratitude.
So, while revenues were down from the prior year, we were still able to meet
the Hospital’s urgent needs, make progress toward our campaign goal, and
make a difference in the lives of over 78,000 children who visit the
Hospital every year.
Our 2009Miracle Weekend revenues, which were announced in June 2009
and are included in our 2009-10 results, reflect fundraising that took place
in 2008 and early 2009 – the worst months of the recession. Although, at
Report of the President and Chair 4
$15.3million, 2009Miracle Weekend revenues were down slightly from
the year before, it was still a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to
the loyalty of our donors and volunteers. This contributed to the Foundation’s
consolidated revenues for 2009-10 of $56.4million.
Of course, our donors and volunteers weren’t the only ones who made a
difference. Researchers brought new insights and understanding to the
mysteries of childhood illnesses, and found ways to treat our children more
safely. Doctors, surgeons, nurses and other caregivers and technicians
shaped the experiences of children and families who turned to us for help
by comforting, consoling, encouraging and saving lives.
And our families – “ours” because they do become part of the Hospital’s
family – shared the worst, and best, moments of their lives on the radio,
on television, in print and online so that British Columbians could better
understand the impact that the Hospital has on so many lives, and the
difference donated dollars can make.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your gift to BC Children’s Hospital really
makes a difference, we hope you’ll find the proof in these pages that it does.
Thank you for your support.

It’s an understatement to say BC Children’sis Brendan Whieldon’s second home.The 12-year-old has been coming to BCChildren’s Hospital for two-thirds of hislife to treat his neuroblastoma, a solidtumour cancer for which there is currentlyno cure. Brendan receives chemotherapyfor one or two weeks every month at BC Children’s.
Brendan Whieldon
Brendan started kindergarten and learnedto read in the one-room school at Children’s.Throughout his eight years at the Hospitalhe has befriended many patients, care-givers and donors, including Dr. DjavadMowafaghian – the philanthropist whopledged $6 million in 2004 to rebuild theHospital’s oncology wing. Brendan writesto Dr. Mowafaghian monthly to tell himabout school, his love of rap music andeverything in between. Brendan’s mom,Shannon, is grateful for each day shespends with her son and hopes thatadvances in research will one day leadto a cure for Brendan’s cancer.

Kate Bishop’s parents say their baby girl isno stranger to pain. The resilient one-year-old has already undergone twoheart surgeries, with more to come. Bornprematurely, it didn’t take long for special-ists at Children’s Hospital to recognizethat Kate had a rare heart defect.
Kate Bishop
Kate spent her first two months in theNeonatal Intensive Care Unit, half of thattime in an incubator with her parents onlyable to hold her twice a day. After her firstsurgery, Kate went home for three months –with a feeding tube, oxygen and a pavlikharness for a dislocated hip – until she grewstrong enough for bypass surgery to repairher heart. She made an astonishing 10-dayrecovery from open-heart surgery inOctober 2009. Today, Kate loves swing-ing, going to the pool and pulling everysingle toy out of her toy box.

Message from the Campaign Chair
In December of 2009, we passed the halfway mark in the $200-million
Campaign for BC Children. As we publish this annual report, we’re at
$107million raised – a great accomplishment at any time, but particularly
so in the context of the economic uncertainty that extended well into our
2009-10 fiscal year.
During these tough times our friends have stood by us. In December 2009
we announced a gift to the campaign from Dr. Djavad Mowafaghian,
already BC Children’s Hospital’s single largest individual donor, as he
built on the $6-million pledge he made in late 2004with a $4-million
gift to the campaign. BC’s Chinese-Canadian community has supported

the Hospital for over two decades, and recently pledged $5million to the
Hospital, including $2.6million to the campaign and $2.4million
to help meet the Hospital’s urgent needs.
These gifts were soon followed by significant commitments from Finning
and Capstone Mining Corp., who contributed $1million and $3million,
respectively.
In March 2010, Vancouver Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin, together
with their wives Marinette and Johanna, made a gift of $1.5million to
the campaign. The Sedins have directed their gift to the Pediatric Intensive
Care Unit and Diagnostics & Imaging area in the new hospital. Their decision
to allow us to announce their gift publicly also helped us raise awareness
of the campaign, as news media outlets across North America picked up
the story.
The major gifts we’ve received reflect the campaign’s renewed momentum.
The campaign’s volunteer leadership and Foundation staff are actively
engaging potential donors and working with these prospects to identify
funding opportunities that meet their needs and interests.
Global BC remains a strong supporter of the campaign and BC Children’s
Hospital. Global’s frequent news stories and live broadcast appeals help
us reach out to British Columbians and inform them of both the need for a
new hospital and the impact that donations have on the children of this
province. In the past year, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group has also helped

draw attention to the campaign, airing the Foundation’s campaign
advertisements on its 19BC radio stations. In April the Broadcast Group
announced that it would continue its support of the campaign for at least
another year.
Although the campaign is not complete and construction of the new hospital
has not yet started, it has already yielded tangible benefits to BC’s children
and youth and their families. Since the beginning of the campaign, Child
Health BC, one of the campaign priorities, has supported the opening or
expansion of five pediatric care facilities in Richmond, Nanaimo, Vernon,
Prince Rupert and Prince George. Each of these helps relieve BC families of
some of the burden of cost and travel otherwise associated with a visit to
Vancouver. Child Health BC’s activities are entirely donor-funded, thanks
to a $20-million pledge made by the Overwaitea Food Group in 2008.
In the months ahead we expect to see significant progress in our fundraising
and in-site preparation for the new hospital. I look forward to sharing news
of this progress with you.
Thank you for supporting the Campaign for BC Children.

Meeting Luca Piccolo, one would never guess that this seemingly healthy nine-year-old battles a chronic, life-limitingillness every day. Luca has cystic fibrosis,a condition requiring regular checkups atBC Children’s Hospital, a strict regimen of care that includes hours of daily physio-therapy to clear his lungs and up to 30pills a day to combat infection and assistwith digestion.

Relocation of Child Development and Rehabilitation Services from Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children
Approximately 5,000 kids fromacross BC receive development andrehabilitation services at Sunny HillHealth Centre for Children each year.Many children seen at Sunny Hillrequire regular medical care at BCChildren’s Hospital. Relocation ofservices will eliminate the commutethat staff and families must maketoday between Sunny Hill’s EastVancouver location and BC Children’sHospital. Children and youth willbenefit from care provided by a rangeof specialists in one location. Themove will also enhance collaborationbetween researchers and cliniciansand help to streamline diagnoses andthe provision of therapy to children.
Improved Access to Pediatric Carethrough Child Health BC
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is raising$50 million for Child Health BC as part of the Campaign for BC Children. TheOverwaitea Food Group became Child HealthBC’s lead benefactor in 2008 with a gift of$20 million.
BC Children’s Hospital is responsiblefor providing care to close to one million children in BC – no matterwhere in the province they live. Inresponse to the growing needs ofBC’s child population, BC Children’sHospital developed Child Health BCto help improve access to pediatriccare and ensure all children haveaccess to a consistent standard of care.The goal is to enable children andfamilies to receive the specializedcare they need, closer to their homes.

Fear was among the first emotions experienced by Jitesh and Cristine, parents of Hans Gabriel Rana when,immediately following his birth, they weretold he needed emergency surgery. Hanshas pulmonary stenosis – a congenitalheart disease in which outflow of bloodfrom the heart’s right ventricle is obstructedat the pulmonic valve, causing a reductionof blood flow to the lungs.

Cardiac Sciences
51 – percentage of open-heart surgeries per-
formed on children less than a year old in 2009
Over 400 children in BC had cardiac surgery
at BC Children’s Hospital in 2009, including
169 infants, almost a quarter of whom were
less than a month old.
The Children’s Heart Centre at BC Children’s
Hospital launched the Invasive Electrophys-
iology Program in 2009 with support from
the Provincial Health Services Authority and
the Foundation. Close to 40 patients received
successful cardiac ablation procedures through
the program in the past year, eliminating their
long-term reliance on medication to regulate
their heartbeat. Caregivers see the program
expanding in the future with plans to hire a
second physician. This will allow them to
treat more BC children and reduce the need
for families to leave the province for care.
BC Children’s Hospital is a leader in non-invasive imaging of congenital heart disease,and echocardiography is the mainstay ofassessing the heart’s structure and function.
Last year the Hospital upgraded two of theolder echocardiography machines and cannow generate three- and four-dimensionalechocardiograms (ECHOs), making diagnosesof heart conditions in children even moreaccurate and surgeries safer than ever before.
In the past 30 years, the number of ECHOsperformed in utero has increased steadily.BC Children’s Hospital now performsapproximately 800 fetal ECHOs annually.These procedures allow heart abnormalities tobe identified early in pregnancy, and permitimmediate planning to address an infant’shealth needs after birth.
Most of the 5,647 visits from children andinfants were on an outpatient basis. Over900 children were seen in their homecommunities through travelling clinics.
Each year more than 100 children withpacemakers and implantable defibrillatorsreceive care at the Children’s Heart Centre.

Lastyear, 761 children received active cancertreatment at BC Children’s.
Clinical and laboratory research at BC Children’s and the Child & Family ResearchInstitute (CFRI), located on the Hospital site,are contributing to the gradual improvementin the childhood cancer survival rate, whichstands today at about 80 per cent.
The clinical research team, led by Dr. MasonBond, is a leading group within the Children’sOncology Group (COG) – an internationalresearch collaboration dedicated to curing orpreventing childhood cancer. Dr. Kirk Schultzis a pediatric oncologist at BC Children’sHospital and is head of the Childhood Cancer& Blood Research Program at CFRI.

BC Children’s Hospital, under the leader-ship of Dr. Schultz, joined an experimentalphase-one clinical trial group calledTherapeutic Advances in ChildhoodLeukemia and Lymphoma (TACL). TheTACL consortium was established to providea means for carrying out early studies of newdrugs in children with recurrent leukemiaor lymphoma. One of the new TACL trialswill explore a new immune therapy forchildhood leukemia and will be focused ontranslational research performed at BCChildren’s Hospital and CFRI.
Results of a phase-two clinical trial showthat adding continuous daily doses of atargeted drug called imatinib mesylate toregular chemotherapy more than doubledthree-year survival rates – to 87 per cent –for children with a type of blood cancercalled Philadelphia chromosome-positiveacute lymphoblastic leukemia. The COG
performed the study at 20North Americancentres.
CFRI received a $1-million grant from theCanadian Institutes of Health Research(CIHR) to study biomarkers in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD, in which thebody’s immune system attacks the donatedcells, is a common complication that canoccur after a bone marrow transplant.Approximately 50 per cent of people whoreceive a blood and bone marrow transplantfrom a non-genetically identical donor
develop GVHD. This grant will enableresearchers to identify and validate GVHD
biomarkers – molecules or substances that,when measured, indicate the risk or pro-gression of the disease – and contribute to thedevelopment of more effective treatmentand new therapies.
Dr. James Lim joined the Childhood Cancer & Blood Research Program in June2009. His research is focused on under-standing the differences between healthyand diseased cells in order to explore newstrategies for treating blood diseases.
Dr. Christopher Maxwell, who was recruitedto CFRI in November 2009, is investigatingcell division with the goal of finding new,more effective therapies and improvingsurvival in childhood and adult cancers.
CIHR awarded Dr. Catherine Pallen a five-year operating grant for her work withthe neurobiology of protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha, a molecule that regu-lates molecular communication in cells. Malfunctioning molecular communicationis well established as the basis of severalhuman diseases, including cancer.

Research opens the door to new, undiscoveredand better forms of medicine. In 2009-10,BC Children’s Hospital Foundation commit-ted $9,348,000 in operational support to theChild & Family Research Institute (CFRI),making it possible to expand upon and recruitgreat minds to lead the programs and labs inwhich new treatments and cures for childhoodillnesses are found.
A new level 3 bio-containment lab, builtin 2009, will allow researchers at CFRI’sCentre for Understanding and PreventingInfection in Children to study contagiousand life-threatening illnesses such astuberculosis and the Avian flu in a secureenvironment.
In work published last year in the journalNature Genetics, researchers identifiedvariations in two genes that predict whichchildren will likely suffer hearing loss as anadverse effect of a lifesaving anti-cancerdrug, cisplatin. Principal investigatorsDr. Michael Hayden of CFRI’s Centre forMolecular Medicine and Therapeutics andDr. Bruce Carleton aim to develop a salivatest for use in the clinic to indicate whichkids are at increased risk of deafness, allow-ing individual treatments to be gearedtoward preventing such disability.
Dr. Daniel Goldowitz will lead NeuroDevNet, a national research networkfor understanding brain development inchildren. Awarded $19.5million over fiveyears from the Networks of Centres ofExcellence of Canada, NeuroDevNetfocuses on genetic and environmentalcauses of cerebral palsy, autism and fetalalcohol spectrum disorders.
CFRI was awarded a total of $9.8millionfrom the Canada Foundation for Innovationand BC Knowledge Development Fund tobuild a Child & Family Research ImagingFacility equipped with a 3-Tesla magneticresonance imaging (MRI) scanner and state-of-the-art lab. With Dr. Steven Miller asthe facility’s principal investigator, the newMRI will help to uncover the mysteries ofthe childhood brain and other areas ofchild health.
The Diabetes Research Program acquired a powerful microscope and digital imagingsystem that reveals the real-time response ofliving cells to new drugs. The DeltavisionLive Cell Imaging System shows researchershow cells respond to different therapies,increasing the potential for faster, moreaccurate diagnoses and treatments.

Surgery
12,219 – number of surgical
hours clocked by surgical teams at BC Children’s
Hospital in 2009
Surgeons at BC Children’s Hospital arecommitted to providing BC kids with thesafest and most effective care. As such, they areconstantly on the search for newer, better andless invasive types of therapies and treatments.
In 2009, surgical teams at BC Children’sHospital performed 8,187 inpatient and outpatient operations.
Last year, the orthopedic team introduced aless invasive procedure to treat children withscoliosis – a condition that causes the spineto curve. Rather than a large, muscle-cuttingincision to permit access to the spine, thispioneering technique involves only threesmall incisions in a patient’s back whichallow “minimal access” placement of tworods alongside the vertebrae to straightenand stabilize the spine. Patients benefit from
dramatically reduced post-operative painand recovery time – from staying for severalweeks at the Hospital and one to two monthsat home to just five days at the Hospital. Theprocedure also eliminates the need for thechild to wear a body brace after surgery,something that was required for weeks tomonths following the open procedure.
In July 2009, a six-year-old patient becamethe first child in Canada and youngest personin the world to receive a diaphragmatic pacerimplanted by BC Children’s Hospital gener-al surgeons using a minimally invasive tech-nique. The pacer gives children who rely on aventilator to assist with their breathing theability to breathe without mechanical supportfor up to 24 hours a day. The pacer consists ofa small external battery pack and control unitthat is connected to four electrodes implantedon the inner surface of a child’s diaphragm.The control unit sends an intermittent electricpulse to the electrodes, which stimulate thephrenic nerves and cause the diaphragm tocontract and in turn, the child to inhale. Thesurgery was performed laparoscopically so onlysmall incisions were made and the risk ofinfection and complications was dramaticallyreduced. The diaphragmatic pacer alsoimproves a child’s ability to speak and helpsto restore their sense of smell and taste. Moreimportantly, children are freed from theburden of manoeuvring around with a bulkyventilator, giving them and their families moremobility and control of their environment.
The Nutrition Clinic provides nutrition assessmentand counselling to childrenfrom across the province,either on site or via telehealth.

To her older brother’s chagrin, SophieGellert of Langley grew four centimetres inheight in a single day. That’s because the13-year-old underwent major surgery tostraighten an almost 90-degree curve inher spine caused by scoliosis.
Sophie Gellert
During her 10-hour surgery at BC Children’sHospital, surgeons removed several discsfrom Sophie’s upper back, fused part of herspine and snapped a steel rod into placebetween rows of the 22 screws they fixedto her backbones. This is what holds herspine in its new position. Four days afterthe operation, Sophie was already onher feet and able to walk slowly with a bitof assistance. She returned to school amonth later. Today, Sophie is happy tobe standing tall and free of pain.

Sevina Samra has reasons to say her 11-year-old son Suneil is mature for his age.When Suneil was diagnosed with type 1diabetes – a condition that entails lifelongdiet monitoring and having his fingerpricked eight to 12 times a day to checkblood sugar levels – the then-six-year-oldonly had “one big cry” and hasn’t let diabetes stop him since.
Suneil Samra
Suneil visits the Endocrinology Clinic atBC Children’s Hospital every six months to check his blood sugar and weight and to have his diet reviewed. He loves swimming, playing soccer and has the leading child actor role in a movie thatwill be released in fall 2010.

The impact of the global recession is reflected in the Foundation’s consolidated revenues of$56.4million for the 2009-10 year. While, as anticipated, revenues fell short of the $68.7million reported in the prior year, they exceeded our expectations.
The decline in consolidated revenue was due in part to reduced investment and endowmentincome as rates of return remain low in the post-recession environment. In addition, major giftincome was lower than in the year prior because, as the recession took hold, the Foundationdetermined that while it would continue a dialogue with prospects, it was not appropriate toask for major gifts in such a time of uncertainty. Miracle Weekend revenue for the 2009-10 yearalso declined to $15.3million from $15.6million in the year prior. Although consolidatedrevenue declined in most areas year over year, the Foundation did not record pledge loss, indicat-ing existing donors remained committed to honouring pledges made prior to the recession.
The Foundation reduced expenses by six per cent, and saw revenue from its lottery increase byfour per cent, but these changes were not enough to offset the drop in major gift revenue.
In December of 2009, the Foundation passed the halfway mark in the $200-million Campaignfor BC Children, with announced campaign revenues of $107million. Major gift activity relatedto the campaign has resumed and several major gifts were recorded in the latter part of 2009and early 2010. In 2009-10, Child Health BC, a campaign priority funded by the OverwaiteaFood Group, announced the opening of an expanded specialized pediatric clinic in PrinceGeorge, building on Child Health BC’s support of facilities in Richmond, Vernon, PrinceRupert and Nanaimo.
The Campaign for BC Children, which will support the construction of a new BC Children’sHospital and Child Health BC, remains a priority for the Foundation. In addition, theFoundation remains committed to meeting the most urgent needs of BC Children’s Hospital,Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and the Child & Family Research Institute.

Baby Cienna and her four-year-old sisterEmily have more in common than justgenetics. Like 42,000 other BC kids everyyear, both girls have been rushed to Emergency at BC Children’s Hospital.While Emily was treated for a brokenelbow, Cienna suffered a life-threateningblue spell.
Cienna & Emily Manaktahla
Only five hours after birth, Cienna stoppedbreathing. Doctors intubated her in Surrey,but couldn’t get her breathing on her own.She was transferred to BC Children’sHospital and stayed in the NeonatalIntensive Care Unit for six days where shewas given antibiotics, X-rays, a CT scan anda battery of diagnostic tests. Recoveringfrom what was likely an infection acquiredat birth, Cienna hasn’t been back since,and Emily’s elbow is back in full swing.

BC Children’s Hospital Foundation Donor Bill of Rights
Donors are the Difference 56
There are many ways to make a gift to benefitBC’s kids.
Bequest in Your WillA bequest is a direction in your will that a certain sum of money, a particular asset, or a portion of the estate is to be given to BritishColumbia’s Children’s Hospital Foundation(our legal name).
Life InsuranceGiving life insurance is a way of making a giftwithout depleting your estate or deprivingyour loved ones of other assets. At the end ofyour lifetime, the gift of the policy proceedswill be paid by the insurance company directlyto BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.Depending on how the policy is structured,you may receive a tax benefit during your life-time or your estate will receive the benefit.
Flow-through SharesPublicly traded flow-through shares for whichthe hold period has expired are an effective wayto give. Flow-through shares – shares of Cana-dian mining, oil and gas companies – haveunique tax incentives that, when combinedwith a charitable tax receipt, offer even biggertax savings.
Publicly Traded SecuritiesDonating securities is the most effective way to give. If you own publicly traded securitiesthat have increased in value and you decide to sell them, 50 per cent of the capital gain is taxable. However, if you donate these securities “in kind” to BC Children’s HospitalFoundation, no tax is payable on the capitalgain. The resulting tax credit from the donation
of the securities will reduce taxes payable onother income. Making a gift of publicly tradedsecurities to BC Children’s Hospital Foundationis easy to do. Please contact us for a transferform to facilitate the process.
RRSP/RRIFYou can name BC Children’s Hospital Foundation as the direct beneficiary of the proceeds of a RRSP or RRIF or you can make agift to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in your will. The resulting tax credit may beused to offset the tax payable on the redemptionof the proceeds of the retirement plan.
PledgesOur pledge program offers you a convenientmethod of making contributions. The programallows you to spread your contribution overthree to five years, usually commencing the yearthe pledge is made. You will receive full recognition for the value of your contributionas soon as the commitment is made.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is a registered Canadian charity and issues taxreceipts for all donations. Tax credits generatedby donations can offset tax otherwise payable on up to 75 per cent of your net income in theyear of the gift. Any unused tax credits maybe carried forward and used to offset taxes overthe following five years.
