This year, Help Fill A Dream proudly celebrates 40 years of supporting children with critical illnesses and the families who stand beside them.
Since 1986, nearly 4,000 families across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have had their lives touched by a Dream. What began as a simple act of compassion has grown into an extended family, one that continues to expand as Dream recipients and their families stay connected and remain part of the Help Fill A Dream community.
Celebrate With Us in 2026
This milestone year belongs to everyone who has been part of the Help Fill A Dream story: families, donors, volunteers, sponsors and community partners. We invite you to celebrate 40 years of Dreams with us throughout 2026 by joining our anniversary events, sharing in moments of joy, and helping us continue to make the impossible possible. With your support, the next chapter of Help Fill A Dream will be filled with hope, compassion, and countless new Dreams coming true.
