Cooper Robertson Foundation Rainbow Award

The Cooper Robertson Foundation is truly a team effort.  There are countless members of Cooper’s Crew, both old friends and new, who have joined our mission to spread awareness and raise funds for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.  Each year, we want to especially recognize those who have gone above and beyond in supporting us and share with them a small token of our appreciation – the Cooper Robertson Foundation Rainbow Award.

2022 Rainbow Award Winners

Vanessa, James, Naomi & Aurelia

The support of fellow TSC families remains the highlight of each year’s RunWithCoops.  We think Vanessa & James said it best… “Together with the support of friends and family, Cooper’s Guelph Crew was thrilled to be able to spread awareness and gather funds in support of TSC. This cause holds a special place in our hearts and we are thrilled to be part of the CRF Community!” 

Vanessa, Danny, Isabella & William

Another amazing TSC Family joining RunWithCoops – Vanessa, Danny, Isabella and William stepped up in sharing their story and gathered the support of their AMAZING crew of family and friends.  It was incredible to see their fundraising efforts and also see their crew join in together on Race weekend! Thank you! 

Salesforce - Mark, Travis, Adrian, Elyse, Steph & Mike

We were incredibly lucky to have been chosen as the recipients of the 2022 Salesforce charity golf tournament! This support (Over $56,000!!!) has allowed the SickKids TSC Clinic to grow in so many important ways.  To Mark, Travis, Adrian, Elyse, Steph and Mike – our biggest THANK YOU for joining the fight to make the future of TSC as bright as possible.

From being one of our biggest corporate supporters of  RunWithCoops, to joining together as a company and welcoming our family to your 1KM walk in support of Coops – we felt ALL the love and are so incredibly thankful for Sargent Farms’ continued support. 

2021 Rainbow Award Winners

Cooper's Aussie Crew

This past May a group of amazing family and friends in Australia (led by Cooper’s uncles!) came together to support CRF and TSC Awareness Month.  Awareness was spread, funds were raised and most importantly a whole lot of love and support was felt all the way from Australia. 

Kandis

Kandis owns @ks_stitching and at the beginning of the year, she generously offered to create a rainbow scrunchie in support of CRF. This awesome little scrunchie has been met with SO much love. Kandis set a fundraising goal back in January and because of an overwhelming amount of support, that goal was met and surpassed! Thank you Kandis for all your love and support!

Kierra

Kierra owns @greysunco and we were thrilled when she reached out with the idea of launching CRF apparel. We absolutely LOVE the t-shirts, crew necks and totes that Kierra created and so do so many of you! It makes us so happy seeing Cooper’s Crew sporting CRF gear!!! Thank you Kierra for your creativity and generosity.

Kathy, Jed & Brooke

One of CRF’s 2021 highlights was having several other SickKids TSC families join on in support of CRF and the TSC Clinic. Kathy, Jed and their daughter Brooke participated in this year’s RunWithCoops and we are so thankful for their support and the support of their INCREDIBLE crew of family and friends. Thank you for teaming up – so excited for what’s to come!

2019 Rainbow Award Winners

Lauren

Lauren owns a local photography company – Moments by Lauren and she is absolutely incredible.  We reached out to Lauren early on in the process of developing the Foundation.  Over this past year she has provided endless advice and support. She also offered her time to photograph our family, which was an amazing experience.  We were left with not only perfect photographs to complete the Foundation’s website and communication materials, but also with family photos that our little family will cherish forever. 

Mark

Mark is the type of person that always finds a way to take something good and make it even better, and that is exactly what he did for us. After hearing Cooper’s story, he encourages us to put the Foundation forward as a potential recipient in the Salesforce Canada Golf Tournament. This past summer, the Cooper Robertson Foundation was chose as the lead charity for the Salesforce Golf Tournament, and in August 2019 we received a corporate donation beyond any of our expectations. Without Mark, and his amazing heart and support for Cooper, this would not have been possible.
