On May 16, more than 150 people from the business community gathered to support children and adolescents victims of sexual violence by attending the Dîner des CFO, presented by Desjardins and CN.
In the past 10 years, Montréal’s business community has raised over $2.5 million to help children and adolescents victims of sexual violence! We are extremely grateful that sponsors, chief financial officers (CFOs), professionals, chefs and partners have steadfastly helped out year after year.
Six CFOs generously agreed to act as chefs for a night:
- Éric Lachance of Énergir;
- Stéphane Lavigne of GDI;
- Jean-François Lorrain of Attraction Média;
- Daniel Plante of Biron groupe santé;
- Maxime Therrien of Saputo;
- Katia Marquier of Fednav.
They were joined by a brigade of well-known talented chefs under the direction of Alexandre Gosselin of Restaurant Victoire:
- Dany Bolduc of Restaurant le H4C;
- Daren Bergeron of Agnus Dei;
- Hakim Chajar of restaurant MIEL;
- Nicolas Sénépart of Restaurant 3734;
- Marie-Pier Morin of Blumenthal caterer.
Many thanks to our sponsors, and to all the CFOs, chefs and guests! And a special thank-you to Pierre Despars, who helmed the organization of this memorable evening, as well as to the organizing committee: Judith Bellehumeur (Deloitte), Sonya Branco (CAE), François DeBroux (Scotiabank), Carl Gauvreau (KDC), Johanne M.
