TravelBrands’ SickKids Day Returns

TravelBrands is marking 10 years of giving back to SickKids Foundation — a milestone that coincides with SickKids’ 150th birthday in 2025 – with its annual Sick Kids Day fundraising event.

SickKids Day was created by TravelBrands as a way to use the power of travel to give back to a cause that touches so many lives. What began as a simple idea of turning everyday bookings into meaningful impact has become one of the company’s most important annual traditions.

This year’s SickKids Day — a dedicated fundraising event where TravelBrands pledges 1% of all sales to SickKids Foundation — takes place on July 31, 2025. Since the partnership began, more than $2.44 million has been raised to help advance SickKids’ mission of delivering world-class pediatric care and lifechanging research. This year, TravelBrands is proud to announce that the FDC Foundation has joined as a corporate match, doubling every dollar raised and significantly amplifying the impact for SickKids.

Nathalie Tanious, President & CEO of H.I.S. Canada Travel Inc., parent company of TravelBrands, said: “SickKids Day represents using the power of travel to make a real difference. Every booking on July 31st helps build a healthier future for children and families.”

She continued: “Over the past 10 years, this partnership has grown into a cause that truly unites our team and our industry. To every travel agent, partner, and supporter – from those who have stood with us since day one, to those just joining our mission today – we offer our deepest, sincerest THANK YOU. Each dollar raised delivers vital support and lights the way to a brighter tomorrow for children and families.”

Beyond this one-day sales pledge, TravelBrands is calling on its partners, suppliers, and the broader travel community to unite in support of a cause that transcends business. This is a moment to demonstrate the collective impact the travel industry can have when it comes together for something greater.
