On April 23, the 14th edition of the CFO Dinner, presented by Scotiabank, brought together influential leaders from Montreal’s business community around a common goal: to support young survivors of sexual violence who are accompanied by Marie-Vincent.
Under the theme “Superheroines and Superheroes,” this edition paid tribute to all those who, through their dedication, help protect children and give them hope for the future.
Thanks to the presence and commitment of guests and sponsors, a remarkable amount of over $460,000 was raised. These funds will help provide specialized services to young people and their loved ones, prevent sexual violence, train professionals, and advance applied research in intervention.
The event was also an opportunity to mark two major milestones in our organization’s history:
-
Marie-Vincent’s 50th anniversary
-
The 10th anniversary of Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin’s engagement as our spokesperson.
Many thanks to those who made this evening a success:
