We want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support of the 7th Annual Course pour la Compassion, powered by Pfizer, which took place on Saturday, September 23rd. A special shoutout goes to our wonderful host, Maya Johnson, of CTV News, and our sincere thanks to Ambassador Alexandre Despatie for his enthusiastic participation in the 5 km walk.
Close to 700 participants supported us by crowdfunding, either individually or as part of a team. The Cambridge Residence organized a complementary Walkathon, with 100 participants raising $9,500. These combined efforts were key in contributing to the success of this event, and helped us raise an incredible $291,725 net (and still counting!) for the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence.
Special thanks to our title Sponsor Pfizer; our Ambassadors Alexandre Despatie, Multi-medalist Olympic Diver, Maya Johnson, Anchor, CTV News Montreal, David Arsenault, Founder of Champions for Life; and David Bedard, four-time Olympic Diver; and our gold-hearted Volunteers, over 70 of whom gave their time to make this event possible.
Thank you to the City of Pointe-Claire for their support, especially Mayor Tim Thomas.
We appreciate the support of all the Dignitaries who were present: Francis Scarpaleggia, Member of Parliament, Brigitte Garceau, MNA, Robert-Baldwin, Monsef Derraji – MNA of Nelligan, Gregory Kelley, MNA for Jacques-Cartier, Mayor Michel Gibson, Kirkland, Mayor Julie Brisebois, Senneville, Mayor Paola Hawa, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and Mayor Jim Beis, Roxboro-Pierrefonds.
