The Douglas Foundation team would like to thank the great generosity of Let’s Bond for the funds raised to support the care of young patients with mental illnesses at the Douglas.
This year, more than $190,000 was raised with their 2022 edition of the The Derby, a high-level sporting event presented by Desjardins that puts young professionals from various fields to the test against each other.
Let’s Bond is a Montreal collective of 50 socially involved young professionals that raises funds for organizations that work more concretely in mental health. Over the past ten years, the collective has managed to raise more than $2 million, which has been donated mainly to the Fondation Jeunes en Tête and the Douglas Foundation.
So thank you once again to the Let’s Bond collective for helping the Douglas build hope for all those whose lives are turned upside down by mental illness.
The 2nd edition of our Bingo Night for mental health was a great success thanks to the support of our partners, our donors as well as our favorite caller, Mc Gilles.
Comedian Jay Du Temple will conclude the tour of his second one-man show FIN with a major challenge: crossing Canada by running and cycling. He is carrying out this challenge for the benefit of the Douglas Foundation to support mental health research.
The latest edition of Open Minds was held last Wednesday at Théâtre Paradoxe.
