We are thrilled to announce the resounding success of the first edition of our Builders of Hope dinner-conference event. Thanks to your presence and generosity, we raised $113,835 to support mental health research at the Douglas Institute.
This collective commitment has had a significant impact on our mission at the Douglas Foundation, helping to build hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness.
The event was marked by poignant and enriching discussions. The presentations by Dr. Marie-Claude Geoffroy and Marie-Chantale Côté raised awareness with our guests regarding the value of a good mental health for women and the tools available to organizations for promoting it among their employees. The inspiring testimonial from Chelsea Cuffaro reminded us of the importance of resilience and hope in living with psychiatric disorders. Guests also enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by Le 9e, adding a culinary touch to this memorable event.
In addition to the enriching exchanges, each participant had the chance to take home a gift bag offered by Clarins and a sample of tea from Firebelly Tea, adding a pleasant touch to the experience.
We also want to express our gratitude to our valuable partners who supported this event. A big thank you to our main partner SunLife, as well as our bronze partners: Banque Nationale, RBC, and Fasken.
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming initiatives and continuing to build hope together. Consult our photo album to experience the highlights of our event.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support and commitment to the Douglas Foundation.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Charles, Evelyne, and Sandra Dolansky Foundation, the Centre is taking its research to the next level with an exciting multi-year initiative led by five Principal Investigators.
