Costco Wholesale Canada Annual Partnership Report 2023

Partners in Children’s Health

Your Giving and Impact

Thank You

Costco Wholesale Canada, working alongside members and employees, achieved record-breaking fundraising results in 2023 – delivering more than $14 million for Canada’s children’s hospitals. At a time when members are focused on maximizing value, they also showed remarkable generosity, lending their support to Costco’s efforts on behalf of children’s health.

Costco employees had special reason to support the cause in 2023: this year’s patient ambassador, Steven (see below), is the child of two Costco colleagues, Crystal and Anthony, both longtime employees at the Downsview warehouse.

A familiar and celebratory sight returned to warehouses across the country this year: icon balloons that highlight local giving adorned warehouse walls for the first time since 2019.

Costco continued to lead by example with exceptionally generous corporate giving and matching practices, nurturing a culture of engagement and generosity across the company.

Your support helps Steven do big things.

Steven had two brain surgeries at SickKids Hospital before he turned seven, and will require ongoing treatment and procedures. As a small child, Steven was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation Type 1, a rare disorder in which the brain herniates out of the skull, affecting the spinal cord and leading to pain, loss of function, and other symptoms. Describing his efforts to raise money for research to help kids like him, Steven says, “There are a lot of things I will never be able to do because of this condition, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t do big things.”
