The SickKids Foundation in Toronto has been fighting for sick kids since 1875. Their mission is to invest in health and scientific advances to improve the lives of children and their families in Canada and around the world.
They're currently accepting donations to help fund the life-changing equipment the children in their hospital need. What's even better is that an anonymous donor will match the amount up to $1 million.
Actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds is a spokesperson and ambassador for the organization. His involvement goes back over a decade, and he always stops by to visit with the brave children whenever he is in Toronto.
He calls the organization his "second family". To help with the fundraiser, Reynolds sets up a video showing Los Angeles Dodgers player Freddie Freeman visiting the hospital; however, he's met by a trio of unhappy Blue Jays fans.
We never thought we'd cheer for @FreddieFreeman5 either, but here we are. He's grown on us. Kind of like @VancityReynolds' sweater. 😉

The video is full of the humor Reynolds provides in his blockbuster movies like "The Proposal" and the "Deadpool" trilogy. The children comically roast Freeman, including one kid who says, "Do you even lift, bro?" at the end. The organization even roasts the ballplayer in the credits, where they thank the participants, but write Freeman's name noticeably smaller than the others.
Not many players would willingly put themselves in a position to be the but of the joke, but Freeman, whose Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in the World Series last month, was more than willing to play along to spread the word about this amazing charity.
Freeman's parents were born and raised in Ontario, so the Dodgers’ first baseman has dual citizenship. To honor his late mother, he visits Canada regularly and chose to play for Team Canada in the 2017 and 2023 World Baseball Classics. He will likely be handling first base for a third time in the 2026 tournament.
If you'd like to donate to this wonderful organization, you can visit their website. It's a fantastic cause that every dollar makes a difference.
