Donate to
Cottage Dreams
To date, hundreds of families have enjoyed time away through
the Cottage Dreams program but with 57,200 new cancer cases
being diagnosed in Ontario this year and the growing number of
placement requests, we need to raise the funds to continue
offering families this much needed, precious time together.
As Survivorship is not on the governments
agenda yet, we have not been able to secure any government
commitments therefore, we rely on private and corporate
donations to coordinate each cottage donation and the families
we match them with.
The links on the right of this page detail the many ways you
can help.
FUN FACTS:

celebrates recovery.

The Ripple Effect webpage or become a title

Cottage Dreams program).
Where does my money go
All funds raised are used for the coordination of each
placement. This includes program costs such as
insurance, program and volunteer coordination, receipting and
administration costs, end of visit reviewers, marketing &
promotion of Cottage Dreams Cancer Recovery.
Cottage Dreams brings money into cottage country like no
other charity
Unlike other charities, Cottage Dreams contributes to the
economy of each of our cottage communities through our
visiting families. Each family spends over $600.00 a
week locally on items such as gas, groceries, souvenirs,
attractions and restaurants. This means thousands of
dollars are being poured into cottage country across the
province.
