Helping the kids who need it most

Providing rehabilitation to kids who need it most is what the OSNS Child and Youth Development Centre does best. Without having to focus so much on fundraising, staff can commit more time to working with the children and families in our region who rely so heavily on the services that are offered. More focus on treatment means less children on waitlists and earlier intervention.

The OSNS Legacy Foundation was created with the goal of easing the financial burden the OSNS Child and Youth Development Centre faces each year. Through philanthropy, the Legacy Foundation’s mission is to secure the delivery of pediatric rehabilitation in the South Okanagan Similkameen. With a goal to build a $10m endowment fund, the Legacy Foundation will be able to provide OSNS with an annual interest income to help reduce the amount of fundraising that must be done on a yearly basis.
