A colorful evening for the Petite robe noire | Gestion financière MD - Banque Scotia

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.

On the women's side, it was the 9th edition and the objective is quite different since the profits from the event are donated to the Fonds de l'Espérance, a fund dedicated to offering financial support to families of children cared for in neonatology, pediatrics and child psychiatry during the difficult period they are going through.

Car rental, overnight stay in a hotel, meals in the cafeteria, travel expenses, support for other children in the family; these are just a few examples of the assistance provided through this Fund. Small nudges that lighten their daily lives, which are burdened by the disease.

The objective is to allow parents to have peace of mind and to be there, with their child, during these trying times.

Thanks to the generosity of the ladies, $96,842, a record for the event, will be donated to the Fonds de l'Espérance.
