On Sunday, October 4, 2026, Sapere joined six co-sponsors in support of the SickKids VS Charity Car Show, held at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto in Pickering, Ontario. The one-day event, part of the SickKids VS brand platform, raised $6,767 for the SickKids Foundation, 35 percent above its $5,000 fundraising goal. Live coverage ran on the Sapere Instagram and the Sapere LinkedIn Page.
About the venue: Porsche Experience Centre Toronto
Located at 356 Porsche Drive, Pickering, Ontario L1W 0B9, the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto is roughly 40 kilometres east of downtown Toronto and about 55 kilometres east of Sapere's Mississauga office. Opened in June 2025, it is the 10th Porsche Experience Centre in the world and includes a working test track plus display space. Google rates the venue 4.9 out of 5 across 216 reviews. The centre regularly hosts public events (phone (416) 940-9919 for programming); the October 4, 2026 car show drew an open-to-the-public turnout across the full four-hour window from 12 PM to 4 PM.
What the event raised
The SickKids VS Charity Car Show raised $6,767 for the SickKids Foundation, surpassing its $5,000 fundraising goal by 35 percent. On October 5, 2026, the organizers posted a "Charity Car Show Surpasses Its Fundraising Goal" update to the fundraising page. The page remains live for anyone who missed the day. Donations are collected directly by the SickKids Foundation (Charity Business Number 10808 4419 RR0001).
The organizers
MagBooths led the organization in partnership with the broader sponsor group. MagBooths is a GTA-based magazine-style photo booth outfit (Instagram @magbooths; bookings via reserve@magbooths.com). The event was built as a one-day, open-to-the-public gathering at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, with 100 percent of raised funds going to the SickKids Foundation. More than forty named donors contributed on the day, with individual contributions ranging from $5 to $1,300 alongside sponsor-level support.
The sponsor group
Seven supporting partners stood behind the day:
- 0101 Motors, exotic and performance car sales and leasing
- 02Sapere, CPA-led accounting and advisory
- 03Dental Care Cambridge Centre, family and cosmetic dentistry in Cambridge, Ontario
- 04MagBooths, event photo booth and activations (also event co-organizer)
- 05Fazi's Prod., media production and event capture
- 06Most Wanted Customs, automotive customization and detailing
- 07ClearKey Rentals, exotic and luxury car rentals
Each co-sponsor contributed either financial support, in-kind production, or both. The combined effort pushed the event beyond its goal in a single afternoon.
Why Sapere co-sponsored
“Numbers tell you what a business values. We put ours behind SickKids because every family in Canada knows someone who has needed them. It was an easy call.”
Sapere's Mississauga head office sits roughly 45 kilometres from The Hospital for Sick Children in downtown Toronto. SickKids pulls patients from across Southern Ontario and well beyond, and the firm has clients and team members whose own families have relied on SickKids care over the years. Supporting a one-day event with a direct line to the SickKids Foundation was a straightforward decision.
Sapere does not disclose sponsorship amounts for community events. The point is to signal, consistently, that the firm shows up for causes rooted in the communities where its people and clients live.
