DRAGON BOAT CORPORATE CHALLENGE : PRESS RELEASE (fr only)
On September 26, 2024, Maison du Père Foundation held its first Dragon Boat Corporate Challenge at Espace Paddock, chaired by Véronique Doucet, General Manager of Société du Parc Jean-Drapeau.
Nearly 200 people from the business, political, cultural and sporting worlds were on hand to take an active part in this unique philanthropic event in Montreal.
The success of this edition would not have been possible without the support and commitment of our event ambassador: Jean-Marie Lapointe.
“Dear Maison du Père Foundation community,
Already a year has passed since my arrival. Today, I would like to express my deep gratitude. Thanks to your generosity and commitment, we have been able to support Father's House in implementing innovative projects that change lives. During these 12 months, I have learned many lessons that have enriched my experience at the Foundation. I'd like to share with you these learnings that have become the pillars of our work...”
PAVILLON ROBERT-LEMAIRE : A PROJECT FOR THE FUTURE...
Mr. Robert Lemaire did when he learned that he had very little time left to live. He transmitted his last wishes to his notary: to make the Maison du Père his universal legatee, as its mission was close to his heart.
After discussions between those in charge of the estate and the management team of the Maison du Père Fondation, it was agreed that Mr. Lemaire’s bequest would be used, in large part, to develop the Maison du Père’s housing and social support projects.
The Robert-Lemaire Pavilion has opened its doors on December 2023.
