Erin Bury and Kevin Oulds, Co-founders Wilful:
"When we started Willful it was important for us to bake giving back into our strategy from day one. One early commitment we made was pledging 1% of Willful's equity to SickKids via The Upside Foundation. We're both passionate about having a world-class children's hospital available for our own kids and those in our community, so it was an easy choice to make. This has been a signal to employees, investors, and the larger community that we care about more than just the bottom line."
