TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER®

The Carion Fenn Foundation is an award-Winning Registered Charity established to educate, support, and provide resources to the public and individuals impacted by Syringomyelia, Chiari Malformation, Chronic and Rare Diseases through a variety of health and wellness programs that are free to the public. A place to share, learn and support each other. We envision a world where every individual has access and support for “Best Health,” addressing needs and ensuring that everyone who is impacted by the physical, emotional, or social symptoms of chronic diseases doesn’t have to go through such devastating challenges alone but rather have the support needed to not be alone and allowing communities to come together to uplift one another. Carion Fenn Foundation strives to create lasting change through collaboration, compassion, and dedicated community services. Our health & wellness programs include the Alex Monaghan Mental Health Programs, Seniors Program, Health 180 with Carion Fenn (Rogers TV), Durham Accessibility Conference, Homeless Program, Rare Disease Expo, Black Health Day & a Food Program.

Our Vision

Through our Alex Monaghan Youth Program, youths can get hours to graduate from High School, in 2024 youths received over 2,000 community services hours because of their dedication, hard work and contributions in feeding the homeless, public food distribution, mental health programs, charity administration and giving back to community. Our programs are free to the public working with Community Partners such as Pickering Mayor's Gala, Pickering Public Library, Freedom City Ministry, 100 Accomplished Black Canadian Women, Ontario Tech University to name a few working together because Together We Are Stronger®
