LiamHolland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation rolled out a new PSA recently that is aimed at helping crush barriers for kids with disabilities. The campaign, entitled “Crushing It”, launched in print, radio, TV and digital across Ontario.

“We are thrilled to be able to highlight the incredible kids from Holland Bloorview,” said Sandra Hawken, President and CEO of . “Our kids are confident, strong and determined and they are reaching their goals every day – whether that be taking their first unassisted steps, swimming in the pool or learning to play a guitar. We are so grateful for the team at Publicis and their production partners for developing this campaign that will help raise awareness about Holland Bloorview and to Scotiabank for their continuing support.”

 

“Scotiabank is thrilled to support Holland Bloorview’s Change for Kids campaign for the 4th year,” said Scotiabank’s EVP & Chief Marketing Officer, John Doig. “Scotiabank strongly believes that everyone should have the opportunity to fulfil their dreams.
