March of Dimes Canada’s 2022 Giving Campaign
Thank you for giving to our Power of Tech Campaign – thanks to your generosity, we’ve reached and exceeded our goal of $55,000! Together, we raised a remarkable $56,000 for life-changing technology and supports!
You know that technology is the future — and everyone should have access to it.
And now, thanks to you, more people with disabilities will have access to the critical devices, programs, and supports they need to thrive. You’ve helped break down financial barriers — on behalf of the people with disabilities we support, we’re profoundly grateful.
Your generosity matters —
technology is transformative for people with disabilities.
The $56,000 raised to date will make devices, and tech-focused programs and services available to children, youth, and adults with disabilities.
How your generosity is making a real impact
Because of you, more people with disabilities are accessing vital technology and supports they need for work, school, and daily life — things like an iPad with built-in accessibility features ($500), a World Pen Scan Go to transcribe speech and scan text ($250), and a tablet stand that holds a device while it’s being used ($100).
And devices are just the beginning. Your donation is also enabling us to offer more people with one-on-one instruction and vital digital literacy skills, as well as providing
customized accessibility recommendations and
training so children, youth, and adults with disabilities can get the most out of their devices.
Thank you for giving to the Power of Tech Campaign!
