Giving
To fulfill our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, every member of the Unity team has chosen an organization that aligns with their personal values and purpose. Unity has made a donation on behalf of each team member to their chosen organization.
Why Maddy chose: SickKids Foundation
“I chose to support SickKids foundation because of my personal connection to them. For the first half of my life this place was my second home. I was born with a brachial plexus injury in my shoulder which required me to constantly visit SickKids for physiotherapy, surgery, checkup etc. I am grateful to SickKids and want to show my support of their vision of fighting for children’s health and wellbeing by donating to this foundation.”
