Sidoo Family Giving is proud to be supporters of the Kids Play Foundation. It is a wonderful organization helping kids enjoy sports of all kinds. Thank you to Kal Dosanjh for making this wonderful Foundation happen!
Congratulations to Emerson Bauer who is the recipient of the Sidoo Family Giving scholarship!
My Son Jordan Sidoo, who is a passionate soccer fan and former student athlete, and I are very excited to continue to support young student athletes, who have special talents, reach their potential and ultimate dream. Emerson will be able to display his talent in the UK for all to see. Good luck to him and the Supra team.
“We continue to support those young student athletes that are very talented but unable to afford to go on life changing trips. Experiences like this”

David and Sidoo Family Giving is proud to collaborate with Nav Bhatia, Toronto Raptors superfan, in funding the World Vision project “RUDI” (Rise up Daughters of India). The project has worked to install sanitisation systems in the Punjab village schools in India so that hundreds of female students have restroom facilities at learning institutions, vastly improving conditions around gender-equal access to education in communities.
Without separate washrooms, female students in rural India have limited options. Some are forced to use a nearby field, risking their safety, health and dignity. Most girls decide to stop going to school rather than endanger themselves.
I have witnessed first-hand the bias against our daughters in India. By simply improving school facilities for girls, we are showing everyone that a girl’s education is important. This is the importance of Rise Up Daughters of India.

Through the Breakfast Club of BC Foundation, Dylan and Jordan Sidoo are proud to support the New Westminster Secondary School Breakfast Club Program. Across Canada, it is estimated that one in four children don’t eat a proper breakfast.
The Breakfast Club programs provide a chance for students to connect with their peers, their teachers, the principal, it’s a place where if parents have to go to work early, and there’s not a place for them to go and no one to help them make breakfast, it’s a safe warm place parents can bring their kids to in the morning.
We encourage others to help with there local Breakfast Club Programs across Canada by visiting https://www.breakfastclubcanada.org
To deal with the COVID-19 outbreak and address the needs of Vancouver’s most vulnerable. Sidoo Family Giving recently provided sanitizers and masks to residents of Oppenheimer Park. In order to prevent the threat we need to unite and protect our most vulnerable communities. “The situation is serious, and it is urgent. In a neighborhood where space, food, supplies, and everything is shared, if we have one infection, it could decimate this entire community,” DTES SRO Collaborative Society’s Wendy Pedersen says.
We encourage others to help where they can including supporting the Downtown East Side Response Group.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Sidoo Family Giving has started working with non-profits to provide hand sanitizers and masks to low-income women and children, vulnerable seniors, and others in need in our community.
The foundation has now worked with four programs in Vancouver run by non-profits like Whole Way House, 10th Avenue Church, and Sikh Temples in both Richmond and Vancouver. This initiative will deliver hundreds of masks and sanitizers to families and seniors impacted by the pandemic.
We also wanted to share with our supporters a few preventative tips to help stop the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
