We’re thrilled to bring back Startup Ecosystem Canada’s Tech Toy Drive for its second year!
Last year, your generosity helped us raise an incredible amount for Toy Mountain, providing tech toys and educational gadgets to children in need. This year, we’re partnering with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) to make an even greater impact.
Why Your Support Matters
Inclusive play is vital for every child. For children with visual impairments, it fosters critical cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Your support helps us provide:
Sensory-focused toys: Building language, motor, and cognitive skills through hands-on play.
School readiness kits: Tactile, audio, and braille resources that prepare children to excel in the classroom.
How You Can Help
Attend the Event: Celebrate with us while making a difference.
Donate Tech Toys or Gadgets: Support inclusive play for children with vision loss.
Spread the Word: Share the event with friends and colleagues.
