Join the CICC Foundation Fundraising & Community Leadership Committee

The Centennial Infant and Child Centre Foundation (CICC Foundation) help provide critical financial support for programs and services delivered by Centennial Infant and Child Centre (CICC) to children with developmental disabilities and their families. Many of these programs, resources, and family supports are only possible through the generosity of donors, sponsors, and community partners.
