On Sunday, September 15th, our strong team of 32 volunteers built our very first playground in the backyard of one very special child in Ancaster, Ontario, fulfilling the mission of our group – to give back to the community!
We are very pleased to announce that the first Runway of Hope was a great success. Together, we have raised enough funds to build not 1, not 2 but 3 playgrounds through Million Dollar Smiles!
The mission of this Runway of Hope Fashion Show is to raise funds in support of the Toronto-based, volunteer-run Million Dollar Smiles organization.
This is Anna!
Anna is 3 years old. She was born with Down Syndrome and a congenital heart disease. Anna was introduced to Million Dollar Smiles by her physiotherapist, who believes that Anna’s health will really benefit from physical activities. This playground will be an important part of Anna’s childhood.
We at Kids T.O. Kids are very honoured to have been allowed to be a part of Anna’s journey. This playground will be enjoyed for many years to come, by both Anna and her Little Brother/Best friend.
This couldn’t have been possible without the support from our K2K Family, our sponsors, and our community.
Thank you very much!

Donations
We kindly request your monetary donation, to help us achieve our goal of putting a smile back on a child’s face, and a playground in her/his backyard. Each playground costs $3,000 to install, and we would like to be able to give Million Dollar Smiles as many playgrounds as we can.
No donations are too small. We greatly appreciate each and every donation. For even as little as a cost of one coffee, you can truly help make a difference in a child’s life.
We thank you very much for your generosity.
