Giving Back
Miss Teenage Canada is committed to giving back. We believe that every child should be empowered to be the best they can be.
Each year, Miss Teenage Canada is proud to support different charities across Canada. Our main focus and fundraising efforts are for the following charities.
Provincial Pageant Charity
Funds raised by delegates at the provincial level support Cardiac Kids. Which is a volunteer group established in 2000 to raise much-needed funds for children who are suffering from congenital heart disease. 1 in 100 Canadian children are born with a congenital heart defect and more than half need surgery to survive. More than half of the patients who require surgery are under one year old, and almost a quarter are less than a month old. Congenital Heart Defects or CHDs are the most common birth defect.
Funds raised by Cardiac Kids are used to support the children and staff of the cardiology ward at The Hospital for Sick Children.
