About
Lonny's Smile is a grassroots, not-for-profit children's initiative. Our Vision
To support organizations that empower children whose lives are challenged by medical conditions. Our beliefs
- Every child has a right to feel included and be like other kids regardless of his or her medical condition.
- Empowering children whose lives are challenged by medical conditions contributes to the long-

term well-being of the family. Our commitment
To help kids whose lives are challenged by medical conditions Just Be Kids. We want to empower these children so that they can experience the wonders of childhood such as a sense of play, friendship, laughter and adventure. Our goals
- Support organizations in the Greater Toronto Area that provide support to children under the age of 18 and their families facing medical challenges.
- Keep Lonny’s Smile as a distinct initiative, supporting other organizations, but not becoming part of their ongoing operations.
- Choose our areas of focus by getting experience-based input from the front line support workers who see the needs every day.
- Create a simple, sustainable, campaign-based initiative.
- Make it an initiative where kids can help. Company Overview
Lonny's Smile is a children's initiative that was launched in 2010 to honour the memory of Lonny Brent Doerksen. Lonny is the son of Hardy and Donna and brother of Penny and Tammy. Lonny passed away in 1971 at the tender age of five at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto after surgery to correct a congenital heart defect (transposition/reversal of the pulmonary artery and the aorta).
