Kyle and Rachel Braatz

Rachel and Kyle Braatz have dedicated more than two decades to strengthening their community through volunteer leadership, philanthropy and an extraordinary ability to inspire others to give back. As volunteer Co-Chairs of CHEO Foundation’s historic $220 million Kids These Days Campaign, they have helped mobilize community support for transformational pediatric healthcare and cancer research while leading by example through a $2 million commitment supporting CHEO. They have also advanced philanthropy through Noelle’s Gift to Children, Senators Community Foundation, L’Arche Arnprior, University of Ottawa and mentorship of emerging leaders. By fostering a culture of generosity that extends to their own children through Triple B for CHEO, Rachel and Kyle are building a lasting legacy that is strengthening philanthropy across generations and throughout the Ottawa community.
