Mission
To support SHN through a shared commitment to fundraising, advocacy, and community engagement.
Vision
As a leading partner of SHN, we are champions for exceptional healthcare in Scarborough.
Values
Impact
For over 10 years, SWOP has raised more than $700,000 to equip SHN’s three hospitals with the tools and technology frontline staff need to deliver outstanding care. With Ontario hospitals relying on community donations for 100% of new equipment funding, our work has never been more critical.
Our signature event, Sip, Shop & Celebrate, raises over $100K annually — and we’re expanding into new events and initiatives every year. We partner with local businesses, connect passionate women, and work alongside SHN Foundation to drive meaningful change.
