Mission Statement

Operation Herbie is a volunteer based fundraising group that has been raising money for the Herbie Fund for over 28 years at The Hospital For Sick Children. The group is dedicated to bringing children from all parts of the world, who are in need of life-saving or life-altering surgeries to SickKids for medical treatment.

The children are selected based of the severity of their medical needs, their lack of access to specialized medical care in their home country. No child needing medical care is denied based on race, religion, geographic location or financial status. The philosophy of Operation Herbie believes that the future of our world lies in the healthy well being of our children; and there is no greater need for generosity and compassion than to care for a child.
