AT TALIZE, GIVING BACK IS IN OUR THREADS.

Talize is proud to announce our partnership with the SickKids Foundation—a cause that goes far beyond charity. It’s a movement of hope, innovation, and care for children facing rare and complex illnesses. Like many Canadians, we believe that every child deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive. SickKids has been at the forefront of pediatric research and specialized care since 1875, driven by pioneers like Mrs. Elizabeth McMaster and powered by the generosity of supporters nationwide.

Now, Talize is stepping forward to join that mission. As a proudly Canadian thrift retailer, Talize’s values center on community, sustainability, and giving second chances—not just to clothing and household items, but to people. Our new partnership with SickKids reflects those values. We’re not in the medical field, but we are in the business of helping families and communities thrive.

Through this partnership, Talize will contribute to SickKids' life-changing work, supporting critical treatments, research, and resources that help children and their families every day. Every donation, every purchase, and every act of support helps SickKids move closer to building a better future for all children. Together, with our customers, donors, and communities, we’re proud to support SickKids. Because when it comes to caring for children, we’re all connected.

Watch for upcoming initiatives where you can help make a difference, simply by shopping or donating at Talize.

NEXT GEN HEALTHCARE

Every kid is one-of-a-kind. So they deserve more than one-size-fits-all healthcare.
Precision Child Health is healthcare tailored specifically to kids.

WITH YOUR HELP SICKKIDS® CAN:

DIAGNOSE FASTER

Knowing what’s wrong more quickly means less stress for kids and families. It helps doctors know where to start.

TREAT SMARTER

Finding the right way the first time means less pain, fewer side effects, and faster healing.

PREDICT BETTER

Predicting illness may one day mean preventing it. Until then, it helps SickKids fight better.

Talize is proud to continue our partnership with SickKids®. Because when every birthday is a fight, every year is a gift. Together we can help SickKids® give kids more reasons to celebrate.
