Isabelle Viger and Louis-Philippe Carrière are passionate about their commitment to local communities and the causes they believe in. They have become quite an inspiring duo in the past few years through their dedication as donors and their active participation in various charitable organizations.
Over the years, the couple has devoted their time, their expertise and their financial resources to important campaigns such as Fillactive and Mères avec pouvoir as well as our own major fundraising campaign, “Overcoming the unimaginable to rediscover hope”.
The couple has confirmed its commitment to Marie-Vincent over several years, a decision that stems from their long-standing relationship with the Foundation and their desire to support organizations where they can make a real difference:
“Marie-Vincent’s mission is of the utmost importance. Help is so desperately needed. We prefer to get involved over several years to better appreciate and support Marie-Vincent’s development.”
Their collaboration with Marie-Vincent has helped us provide better access to our services, lowering wait times significantly. They also hope that Marie-Vincent’s efforts toward prevention and training will contribute to positive changes in our society:
“Our greatest wish for Marie-Vincent is that it succeeds in meeting demands without relying on a waiting list, and to see society change for the better as a result of its prevention efforts and significant headway in reducing calls for help.”
Isabelle and Louis-Philippe share our dream of a world without sexual violence against children and teenagers, a world where they can thrive free from harm. Their commitment speaks to their desire to create a better tomorrow for future generations, where young people will be able to flourish freely and without fear.
Marie-Vincent is honoured to be able to count on their support and unrelenting dedication.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Can you tell us a bit more about yourselves and your commitment to the local community?
In the past few years, we have gotten involved in several causes that are important to us, both as donors and fundraising campaign committee or board members.
We played a more active role in last year’s important fundraising campaigns for Fillactive and Mères avec pouvoir. We helped develop and launch the major campaign and the campaign cabinet, and provided financial support.
We prefer to support organizations where our involvement and financial contribution can have a direct impact.
What led you to commit to supporting Marie-Vincent over several years?
We’ve been aware of the Foundation for many years thanks to the annual Souper des CFO in support of Marie-Vincent. Marie-Vincent’s mission is tremendously important. Help is so desperately needed. We are delighted to contribute to this major campaign. We prefer to get involved over several years to better appreciate and support an organization’s development.
What do you think this collaboration could bring you?
The satisfaction of seeing Marie-Vincent broaden its reach outside of Québec and reduce waiting times to provide these kids with the care they need. There is a tremendous need for support, and not only in the Montréal area. Marie-Vincent has also developed a prevention component within its mission which, we hope, will keep expanding and contribute to turning things around.
What are your hopes for the future of Marie-Vincent?
That it succeeds in meeting demands without relying on a waiting list, and to see society change for the better as a result of its prevention efforts and significant headway in reducing calls for help.
What is your greatest dream for our kids?
A world free from violence and abuse where young people can thrive, freely and without fear.
