More than $159,000 were raised for the second edition of the Building Hope Tournament, an esport competition that brings together hockey players, celebrities and gamers to raise awareness on mental health problems.
This year, the Building Hope Tournament was proudly presented by La Cage Chez Vous. Hosted by Richard Turcotte, the livestream allowed us to reunite hockey and esport enthusiasts, as well as tens of thousands of audience members who care about the cause of mental health.
Thanks to the generous sponsorship from La Cage, our participants and celebrities were treated to a tailor-made gourmet menu to give them strength for the competition, which turned out to be quite fierce. Congratulations to Billy Karaoke’s team for winning this year’s tournament and fighting until the end to give us a thrilling finale.
Live musical performances were also on the agenda to spice things up for everyone who was present, virtually or in person: a big thank you to Sasseville, Radio Radio, Taktika and L’Orchestre Pèse-Start.
We would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary support from Beneva, Fairstone and EY who contributed in making this event such a success. We hope to see you next year for another memorable tournament in support of the Douglas Foundation.

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!
