This February, our team at Giant Shoe Creative participated in the SickKids February Steps Challenge, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished together.
Over 28 chilly, slushy, and occasionally sunshine-y days, we laced up, showed up, and walked in support of the incredible care teams, patients, and families at SickKids. The challenge? Raise funds to help build a new, state-of-the-art SickKids hospital.
Our goal was 400,000 steps.
Safe to say… we surpassed that.
👟 863,368 steps
💰 $435 raised for SickKids Foundation
Every step and every donation helped support the future of care at SickKids, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, cheered us on, or simply followed along as our step counts climbed.
If you’ve been following along, you know we couldn’t just quietly log our steps.
True to Giant Shoe form, our Digital and Production teams went head-to-head in a friendly step competition for bragging rights. What started as a little motivation quickly turned into a full-blown rivalry full of daily step updates and plenty of playful trash talk.
Here’s how it shook out:
🎬 Production Team: 400,791 steps
💻 Digital Team: 462,557 steps
Which means the Digital team officially took the win this year (cue the confetti cannon 🎉). We’ll let Production start planning their comeback now.
Behind all the fun was something far more important.
The real win was supporting an incredible cause like SickKids. Every step directly helped thousands of kids and builds what’s possible to heal future generations.
We’re proud to have taken part in a challenge that helps move that vision forward—one step at a time.
To everyone who donated, shared, encouraged us, or even just followed along with the rivalry—thank you.
From St. Catharines to Toronto, we were proud to take part in the SickKids February Steps Challenge and support the amazing work they do for families across our province. If you have the means to support them, it truly goes a long way.
Production… we’ll see you at the next challenge.
