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 10th edition of Open Minds has just broken all records by raising an unprecedented $740,000 for mental health research and care at the Douglas Institute. This amount represents the largest sum ever collected in the history of this flagship event dedicated to mental health in Quebec.
The highly anticipated Douglas Show 2025 broke fundraising records this year, generating an impressive $153,000 for mental health initiatives at the Douglas Foundation. The sold-out event at Club Soda featured some of Quebec’s best comedians uniting for this important cause.
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, all donations made to the Douglas Foundation until December 31 will be matched up to a total of $30,000.
