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 Douglas Foundation is pleased to welcome Laurence L’Abbé, Jaime Freyre de Andrade, and Werner Muelhemann to its Board of Trustees.
Thanks to a major commitment from Manulife Canada, the Fondation Douglas is advancing a first in Quebec: a clinic dedicated to personalized dementia prevention, helping people act earlier and transform cognitive health trajectories.
The Ouverts d’esprit evening broke a new record last Thursday, February 26, at the Théâtre Paradoxe — marking the second consecutive year of record-breaking impact!
