A colorful evening for the Chemise blanche | Banque Nationale Gestion privée 1859
Events
The evening of September 8 was hot, but also colorful for the CHUS Foundation... Indeed, two events took place in Magog, one bringing together 176 women in black dresses at the Grand Cru boat; the other bringing together some 150 men in white shirts on the shore, at the Club Hermitage.

It is now a tradition since it was the 3rd edition of this event targeting gentlemen in order to raise awareness about the cause of human health and to raise funds to finance research, scientific innovation and the improvement of care offered to them.
Men tend not to go to the doctor or to postpone visits to the doctor as much as possible, even though they have a lower life expectancy than women. Thanks to research, it is possible to improve the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases that particularly affect men, including urology.
Again this year, for a second year, the event raised $200,000!
Thank you for giving for health!
Your involvement makes all the difference in achieving and pursuing the mission of the CHUS Foundation.
