Meet Our Honorary Chairs
Together We Dare Honorary Chairs
We’re grateful to our honorary chairs for daring to shape the face of childhood disability health care and research.
Our honorary chairs play a pivotal role in our $100 million fundraising campaign by spreading awareness and inspiring others to make bold and daring change.
Meghan Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer, Roots Corporation
"At Roots, we believe in the power of community. That’s why I’m proud to serve as an honorary chair for the Together We Dare campaign. Never before has Canada seen a fundraising campaign of this scale for childhood disability. Children with disabilities account for 10% of the population. We’re daring to do what’s never been done before, and we can’t do it without you. Let’s dare to transform healthcare for children with disabilities together."
Bob Courteau, Executive Chair, Kinaxis
“As a supporter, I've had the privilege of seeing the life-changing work at Holland Bloorview up close. The $100 million Together We Dare campaign is about giving kids the care they need, when they need it, along with the tools to be confident and live without limits. Ultimately, it's about helping them be their true selves. I'm proud to be a part of this campaign, and I dare you to join us in making a difference for children and youth with disabilities.”
David Coriat, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Slaight Communications Inc.
“Every child, no matter where they live, has the right to participate in society fully and barrier-free. Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital creates meaningful outcomes for kids with disabilities and their families. As a Together We Dare honorary chair, I am daring to speak up in support of creating a world where kids with disabilities have equal opportunities to life-changing care, accessibility and inclusion.”
Arron Barberian, Owner, Barberian’s Steak House
“Our family has been part of the Holland Bloorview community for many years — from the care and opportunities our son received, to the programs that included his sister, to the chance for us to give back through our business and community involvement. We’ve felt the care, compassion, and innovation that make this hospital so special, and we know firsthand the impact it has on kids with disabilities and their families. That’s why I am honoured to serve as an honorary chair of the Together We Dare campaign — because daring to create brighter futures for these kids is deeply personal to us, and I hope others will join us in shaping what’s possible.”
Joseph Woll, Toronto Maple Leafs Goaltender
“I’ve seen first-hand the incredible impact Holland Bloorview has on kids with disabilities and their families. Every visit reminds me how much this hospital changes lives — through exceptional care, life-changing research, and innovations that open new possibilities. I’m honoured to support the Together We Dare campaign as an honorary chair, and I hope we can all come together to make a difference for kids with disabilities across Canada.”
Sheriauna, Holland Bloorview client and ambassador
“I know what it feels like to be a kid wondering if the world will make space for you. And I know how powerful it is when someone dares to believe in you before you believe in yourself. That’s why I’m daring you to stop looking away. Not because I want the spotlight, but because avoiding difference doesn’t make it disappear.”
Alex, Holland Bloorview client and ambassador
“It’s more important than ever before for me to use my voice. To speak up for kids with disabilities like me. I want a world where we can get the care we need, when we need it, without having to worry about what the future holds. I believe it’s possible, but I can’t do it alone. I’m daring to pay attention. And now it’s your turn, too.”
Rehan, Holland Bloorview client and ambassador
