Laughter, generosity and solidarity were at the heart of the Douglas Show, a memorable evening that made a meaningful contribution to mental health research.
Last night, the Douglas Foundation was delighted to bring together audiences for a one-of-a-kind comedy night: the Douglas Show. Thanks to the generosity and engagement of everyone, $107,000 was raised to support mental health research at the Douglas Institute.
Brilliantly hosted by Jo Cormier, the evening featured unforgettable performances by our five guest comedians Liliane Blanco-Binette, P-O Forget, Ève Côté, Patrick Groulx and Matthieu Pepper, who kept the audience laughing from start to finish.
The Douglas Foundation would also like to sincerely thank its valued partners, whose support was essential to the success of the event. Agropur, official presenter of the evening, Stikeman Elliott, Hope Builder, as well as Dialogue and Bell as partners. Thank you also goes to our ambassador Familiprix | Pharmacie David St-Jean Gagnon for their commitment to the cause.
Because there’s something powerful about starting the year with laughter, especially when it supports such an important cause.

Presented by Desjardins, the second edition of Builders of Hope highlighted the strength of collective mobilization. The event raised $150 000, which will directly support essential research projects at the Douglas Institute.
