Driving Change

For Niagara 5000 founder and CEO Alana Hurov, this cause is deeply personal. Her daughter lives with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, and McMaster has been instrumental in her care. Special thanks to Dr. Celluci and Dr. Sabri’s medical teams for their exceptional care and support. The hospital’s impact extends far beyond treatment—it provides hope, guidance, and strength for families every day.

McMaster Children’s Hospital is one of Canada’s top pediatric care centres, providing expert, compassionate treatment to children across South-Central Ontario. With leading programs in mental health, oncology, neurology, and neonatal care, McMaster plays a vital role in supporting families through some of their most difficult journeys.

We are also supporting Cassie & Friends whose mission is to transform the lives of kids and families affected by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.

1 in 1,000 children in Canada lives with juvenile arthritis. It’s painful, often invisible, and has no cure - yet. Together, we can give these kids hope for a brighter, healthier future.

We are proud to support McMaster Children’s Hospital and Cassie + Friends in their mission to give every child the chance to thrive. By attending Niagara 5000, you’re not just enjoying an unforgettable experience - you're changing lives.

Niagara 5000 is proud to support Lawsuits and Horsepower 4 Hospital charities.
