Meet The Rolke Family

"In late May 2015, we discovered Addison (age 7) had an anaplastic astrocytoma, a type of brain tumor uncommon in children. She passed away on June 16, 2015. It all happened very quickly. After her passing we were searching for different means of comfort and support while looking to create a legacy in her memory and for others that face a similar challenge.

We found a mutual fit with the Mississauga Foundation and have created a tribute to Addison called “The Addison Jenner Rolke Wish Fund”.

The capital contributed to Addison’s Wish Fund grows in perpetuity and part of the income earned is donated annually to charities. As a family, we choose charities that we found helpful to both Addison and our family during our journey. Funds are generated organically through donations from family and friends along with a variety of community fundraisers."

In 2023, The Jenner-Rolke family was awarded the Pendle Award for Philanthropy for their continuous and diligent support to the Foundation.
