Variety, the Children’s Charity, has raised more than $22 million in Manitoba to meet the special needs of children of all abilities. Their efforts enable children to participate more fully in life’s activities. Variety provides funds for adapted equipment so that children can run as well as walk; play hockey instead of watching TV; “read” computers even though they may be blind. Variety also contributed $200,000 for a pediatric play area in the upgraded CancerCare Manitoba Treatment Centre.
