An extraordinary $2M gift to revolutionize mental health research
The generosity of the Lise and Giuseppe Racanelli Foundation propels neuroscience at the Douglas Research Centre.

Thanks to the support of our sponsors and donors, the first edition of our comedy show managed to raised $150,000$ to support mental health research at the Douglas Institute.
It was a pleasure to welcome our guests last Thursday for the first edition of the Douglas Show. With stellar entertainment by our host Jo Cormier, and distinguished guests like Neev, Arnaud Soly, François Bellefeuille, Maude Landry and Laurent Paquin, we made a great impact with this humorous evening.
This success would have never been possible without the support of our title sponsor Pomerleau, our cocktail sponsors WSP and Stikeman Elliott, as well as Bell Let’s Talk and Slalom.

We sincerely hope that you will join us for the next edition of the Douglas Show. Together, we are building hope for all those whose lives have been affected 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.
