Legacy Club

Our Legacy Club is comprised of an exclusive group of people who have chosen to give a gift to Smilezone that will leave a lasting legacy in their name and, impact children long into the future.

“After hearing of the great work being done by Smilezone Foundation in children’s’ hospitals in Ontario, we thought there is no reason why the patients and families of Atlantic Canada should not enjoy the same benefits. We are delighted to have been the catalyst in bringing Smilezone to the IWK"

"My children and I have such love for Newfoundland and we are extremely proud and excited to be opening the provinces first Smilezone in memory of my late husband, Craig Pardy. Heartfelt thanks to the Smilezone team whose design and construction expertise brought our vision to life by totally transforming the Janeway physiotherapy clinic. Craig brought smiles and joy to all who knew him and the longterm impact of this project will do the same for staff, visitors and more importantly the patients. Thank you to all involved, especially the Smilezone Foundation for helping us turn this special legacy project into a reality"
