Over $2.5 Million to Help Children Across Quebec to Be More Active

The Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation is proud to help children across Quebec to be more active through donations of more than $2.5 million for the 2015-2016 season. In addition to the $1.4 million which enabled the construction of its seventh BLEU BLANC BOUGE outdoor rink this winter at Émile Park in Laval, the Foundation granted $1.1 million in donations to more than 60 charitable organizations working with disadvantaged youth across Quebec.

Aiming to offer children in need the same benefits as other kids their age, by giving them the opportunity to experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through regular participation in sports and recreational activities, the Foundation supports each year different organizations that demonstrate, through their programs, a strong will to have a significant impact on the living habits of disadvantaged children. While half of the organizations that received a grant from the Foundation this year are located in Montreal, the other half represents 11 of the 16 administrative regions of Quebec.

Thanks to our partners

These community investments are made possible thanks to the generosity of the Foundation’s partners and donors as well as Montreal Canadiens fans who generously supported various fundraising initiatives during the 2015-16 season. The Foundation particularly wishes to recognize the continuous and generous support of Desjardins Securities who announced last April a major gift of $508,000, which brings its total company and employee donation amount for the Foundation to more than $4.5 million over the last 14 years.

The Foundation also wishes to acknowledge the significant support of its other first-rate partners Canadian Tire and the Jumpstart Foundation, Rio Tinto and Ford Canada, and is grateful for their faithful commitments to the cause of the children we help.
