The company believes every child deserves a chance to live his or her best life, no matter the circumstances. Sheridan’s 2020 donation of $20,000 to Children’s Wish Foundation brings its donations to more than $200,000 since their partnership began.

The Kids’ Health Links Foundation focuses on creating children and youth centred programs. Upopolis, their secure social networking technology, helps chronically ill and hospitalized youth cope with stress, isolation and loneliness while in medical care. Upopolis is a therapeutic, fun, private and secure online platform that connects ailing youth between 10 and 18 years old with others who are going through similar medical experiences. Through Upopolis, youths have more opportunity to learn and grow alongside their peers, empowering them to manage and cope with their diagnoses.

In 2020, Sheridan Nurseries donated $30,000 to Kids’ Health Link,s bringing donations to more than $300,000 since the partnership began.
