Every donated dollar goes directly to a children’s hospital foundation in the community where the team raises it. Together, the three GingerCane metros turn a little imagination into lasting support for kids and families.

THE WHOLE JOURNEY
Season by season, community by community.
Recorded entry fundraising for each hospital partner. All amounts CAD. In 2010, a dash means that metro was outside the local Calgary campaign.
These charts group recorded entry fundraising by the team’s GingerCane funding metro. They include organizer and anonymous entries. The inaugural 2010 campaign supported the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation in Calgary; its amount has not been recovered. Earlier records are partial, and unknown amounts stay uncounted. Figures describe the fundraising history for each foundation and do not add separate sponsorship or direct gifts that are absent from the entry archive.

How to read these stories
This collection combines the recovered archive with first-hand history confirmed by GingerCane’s co-founder, Sean Young. Named records, organizer-confirmed seasons and tenure-based recognition are identified on each person’s story. Missing records may leave gaps; team fundraising belongs to the collective effort.
Advocacy includes encouraging participation, promoting entries, recruiting support and helping the campaign reach new communities. Current organizer staff are recognized for the campaign seasons covered by their service. Estimated dates are marked, and current staff who joined after 2025 are welcomed without adding earlier seasons. Founder recognition is retained separately.

THE GENEROSITY BEHIND THE BUILDSBig hearts.
Big hearts.
Every gift counts.
Behind the gingerbread houses are people, families and companies who choose to give. Explore the recovered donation history, the supporters who returned, and the generosity that helped the tradition grow.
A different view of the same generosity.
This donation-ledger view overlaps the entry fundraising elsewhere in the dashboard. Its total is never added to the entry total. Donor identities may represent people, households, companies or shared payment accounts.
A COMMUNITY THAT SHOWS UP
Generosity, season by season.
Select a season to explore its aggregate record. N/R means records were not recovered; it does not mean no one gave.
EVERY SIZE OF GENEROSITY
How the gifts add up.
Each gift is counted in one size band. Select a band for its aggregate share.
THE SUPPORTERS WHO RETURN
One season becomes a tradition.
Distinct giving seasons within the selected range. Each matched donor identity appears once in this chart.
UNDERSTANDING A TYPICAL GIFT
The average and the middle.
The average includes every recorded gift. The median is the middle gift when donations are ordered by size.
Average giftMedian gift
Selected-range figures use the underlying gifts, not an average of annual averages or medians. Select a point for the season’s aggregate details.
GENEROSITY WITH A PERSONAL STORY
Champions of the tradition.
Four supporters the organizers asked to celebrate. Giving seasons and gift counts describe recovered records; the stories also include the organizers’ firsthand campaign history.
THE RECORD AT A GLANCE
A closer look at each season.
All figures are CAD. A donor is counted once per year, even when they made several gifts. Previously observed donors appear in an earlier campaign record.
What these records can tell us.
Total giving
Donations in the selected seasons, with each included gift counted once after duplicate checks. All amounts are in Canadian dollars.
First-observed donors
A donor identity first appears in the recovered campaign records in that season. This may not be their first-ever gift.
Returning supporters
For a selected range, a repeat donor has gifts in at least two different seasons within that range. Annual returning counts use earlier observed campaign years, including years before the selected range.
An incomplete early chapter
2010 donation-level records are not recovered. Other seasons may also be partial. Missing records remain unknown; they do not mean no one gave.
