Ryan Reynolds Recruits Freddie Freeman for SickKids Holiday Drive With $1 Million Match

Donations made by Dec. 24 will be matched to fund life-changing equipment at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children.

Overview

  • The video debuted Dec. 5, with Reynolds posting the clip on X to launch his annual fundraiser.
  • In the spot, Blue Jays–clad patients playfully boo Freeman in a scripted nod to the 2025 World Series.
  • An anonymous donor is matching gifts up to $1,000,000 through Christmas Eve, according to the campaign.
  • Participants include patients Logan, Olivia, Daniel, and Cali and nurse Nadia alongside Reynolds and Freeman.
  • Early coverage reports a largely positive response, with Freeman’s appearance viewed as goodwill that softens lingering fan resentment.
