$120,000 raised for the Children
After a three-year absence, the popular 6-à-huîtres sur le Canal made a remarkable return on August 27, in a brand-new format. Supported by a renewed, committed, and passionate executive committee, the event took place in the warm setting of McKiernan Rôtisserie, attracting nearly 200 guests and more than a dozen sponsors.
For most guests, it was their first time participating in a fundraising event for the Foundation. The volunteers worked with the Foundation team to orchestrate a festive and memorable evening.
The result: $120,000 was raised to support Le Children and the research work of Dr. Koenekoop, a recognized specialist in pediatric genetics.
Thank you to the Grands Tannants of the Children
The evening was also an opportunity to unveil the new name of the former Circle of Emerging Leaders: The Grands Tannants of the Children. This playful nod to the brand image of the Foundation evokes the child in each of the professionals that the network seeks to inspire and engage. With such energy and palpable enthusiasm, the organizers are aiming high for next year. The groundwork is laid to make the 6-à-huîtres a flagship event in the Montreal philanthropic calendar.
A big thank you to our Grands Tannants, Priscille Arbour, Richard Cogo, Jason Gauthier, Christine Rokos, Nick Snow, Jeffrey Soliman, and Chloé Soucy.
Thank you to the sponsors of the 6-à-huîtres!
This magical evening would not have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors.
Your commitment is deeply appreciated.
