“Tech4SickKids rallies the technology community to support the development and adoption of lifesaving, innovative technologies in the hospital, like its cardiac health risk calculator that accurately predicts risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the #1 cause of sudden death in young athletes,” said Erin Bury, Co-Chair of Tech4SickKids and CEO and Co-founder of Willful. “We’re excited to bring some of Canada’s top tech leaders together at this event in support of a leading Canadian children’s hospital or SickKids, a leading children’s hospital.”

“Giving back has been an important core value to our business and me personally. It gives our company a focus we can rally towards, and no cause unites a team more than the needs and efforts at SickKids,” said Randy Frisch, co-founder and CMO of Uberflip. “This auction night is a way to encourage more companies in the tech community to lean in. I encourage everyone to join in the fun and cast some bids.”
