Many of our accomplishments at Baycrest would not be possible without donor giving. Two-
thirds of our support comes from the province, and the funding is not enough to cover the
cost of programming that addresses the emotional well-being of older adults and their cultural
needs.
Some big-ticket projects are on the horizon. In the year ahead, the Foundation will be
launching campaigns to fund renovations for the kosher kitchen as well as the Apotex Centre,
Jewish Home for the Aged, where furniture and infrastructure upgrades are needed. The
therapeutic pool at the Terraces of Baycrest closed in 2018, and the Foundation is raising
funds for extensive renovations. In addition, fundraising is underway for the Patient, Family
and Consumer Education Program.
Each year, the Baycrest Foundation engages the community in fundraising events like the
Scotiabank ProAm for Alzheimer's, the annual Barrie to Baycrest (B2B) bicycle ride and the
Yogen Früz Brain Project; conducts direct mail campaigns; and reaches out to donors to
encourage their support for care, education, research and innovation at Baycrest.
Funds are also needed to support scientific research; modernization of the hospital pharmacy;
beds and mattresses; arts and culture programs; innovation at Baycrest to introduce
technology and improve life for residents and patients; and upgrades to imaging equipment at
the Rotman Research Institute. If you or someone you know wishes to make a donation, please
contact the Foundation.
