2009 Sasha Bella Fun Day PICTURES

Hello!

We want to thank the families who came out and donated for making the 2009 fun day such an amazing time! Families, performers and volunteers - you were all so wonderful!

We feel lucky that such generous and talented people helped SickKids and Bloorview Kids Rhab and celebrated Sasha on such a beautiful sunny Sunday. Many people told us they felt the love in the room.

Warmest regards and a big THANK YOU! Between web and on the day donations we together raised almost $20,000 for SickKids and Bloorview.
Pamela and Jonathan

p.s the 2009 event website is still open - NO percentage of a dollar donated to The Sasha Bella Fund goes to administrative overhead, it all goes to family centred and interprofessional projects.

Sasha loved her Raggedy Annes. Did you know? Raggedy's creator made her for his dying daughter and it was later taken up as a symbol of the anti-vaccination movement. (Sasha had all her vaccines regularly)Photo: Bryan McBurney
