The Grand Theatre is proud to give back to the London-and-area community through the Holiday Wish for Kids program (operating for over 30 years), the Business Cares Food Drive, and by supplying tickets for charitable events. 
 

🎁 Holiday Wish for kids

300 children, from 35 agencies, ONE magical night!

On Tuesday, November 24, 2026, and for the past three decades, the Grand has been able to offer this special experience to children at no cost. 

With thanks to our presenting sponsor, Sifton Family Foundation, we are able to create a magical night for these children each year by subsidizing 300 tickets and a special gift for each child.

A very special thank-you McCormick Canada for their Title Sponsorship of A Christmas Carol and volunteer support, as well as these supporting organizations:

• Scholastic Canada
• Scholars Choice
• Children’s Museum
• Fanshawe College
• Western University
   

"We really want to thank the Grand for giving our families this opportunity. Our kids are treated like royalty and they talked about being at the theatre for weeks after! I know our kids will never forget it!

- Sandra B.

🎁 Business Cares Food Drive
