The Benefit Evening of the Foundation is the annual event that raises funds to support the services and programs of the Women's Centre of Montréal.
The 25th edition took place under the theme "From Spark to Light" at the prestigious St. James Theatre on April 18, 2024. Surrounded by an assembly of 500 guests, we managed to raise the sum of $769,300, which will make a concrete difference in the lives of women seeking help from the Center.
Our remarkable co-hosts, Geneviève Borne and Francis Reddy, perfectly embodied the theme of the evening, bringing light and energy to every moment and ensuring remarkable entertainment.
We wish to express heartfelt thanks to the fundraising committee, our precious donors, sponsors, and guests for their generosity and commitment.
