RBC Race for the Kids supports youth mental health. Proceeds benefit Sunnybrook's Family Navigation P But there’s still work to be done.

RBC Race for the Kids is celebrating 10 years of making a difference for youth struggling with mental health and addiction challenges. Since the first race over $18-million has been raised in support of Sunnybrook’s Family Navigation Project. Thanks to over 60,000 participants we’ve helped thousands of youth in our community, and their families, find the mental health services they needed. By participating in RBC Race for the Kids, you’re helping change — and save — the lives of young people affected by mental illness and addiction. You now have two ways to participate in this annual run/walk for charity, in person or virtually, while raising funds for Sunnybrook's Family Navigation Project. Funded by generous donors like you, this innovative program guides youth and their families to the mental health services they need. Sunnybrook’s Family Navigation Project is a free service that pairs youth aged 13 to 26 who have mental health and/or addictions challenges, and their families, with clinically trained navigators who connect them with the services they urgently need. FNP serves families in the Greater Toronto Area.

What’s your reason for running? 👟💙
For some, it’s for a friend, family member or young person facing mental health challenges. For others, it’s about making sure youth don’t have to navigate the system alone.
In 2025, 1 in 4 Family Navigation Project (FNP) clients were young people who reached out for support themselves.

This RBC Race for the Kids, run for youth taking that first step toward support.
