An inclusive Halloween dance-a-thon raised a whopping $46,000 for kids at Holland Bloorview. The hospital’s first-ever Halloween dance-a-thon for inpatient clients took place at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital on October 30, 2023.

Nearly 150 GTA high school students came together to raise money for the hospital, all thanks to Grade 12 student and Holland Bloorview volunteer Shiloh Terner.

When I launched this initiative with Holland Bloorview, I set a target of $25,000. It is beyond my wildest dreams that we have met that target and surpassed it! It just goes to show that the young people of this city are engaged, we care and we are looking to give back and make a difference. I am proud that we will be able to make Hallowe’en a little more inclusive this year than it was last year!Shiloh Terner, Grade 12 student at St. Clement’s School
