Giving Tuesday

Make a donation to the REA Foundation on the occasion of Giving Tuesday!

Giving Tuesday is the largest global movement dedicated to generosity. Created in 2012 with the goal of encouraging people to do good for one day, this movement quickly spread worldwide, inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give and support organizations. In 2023, more than 43 million dollars were raised for 47 local community movements in Canada alone!

For several years now, the REA Foundation has proudly joined this significant movement. Once again this year, your donations can make a difference by supporting the REA Foundation’s mission, which is dedicated to physical rehabilitation.

Looking Back on the First Recognition Evening of the REA Foundation…

During our first recognition evening, we announced a special initiative to highlight the individuals and organizations honored at this event for their commitment. These include:

  • Our most frequently recognized exceptional individuals from 2018 to 2023

  • Our donors who contributed over $100,000

  • Our members of the major campaign cabinet

  • Our boutique volunteers

  • Our top fundraisers from the Défi

  • Our members of organizing committees

  • Certain beneficiaries who shared their testimonials

To pay tribute to all these individuals, recognition frames have been installed in three of our rehabilitation centers:

These frames will allow everyone to see the dedication and support that these exceptional individuals have contributed to the cause of rehabilitation.

The Foundation would like to once again express its heartfelt gratitude to all those who contribute to the advancement of our mission, in any way they can.

A Christmas Tree for a Good Cause!

The end of 2024 was once again highlighted by our partnership with BÔSAPIN, a local company that allows you to purchase your Christmas tree and decorations, all delivered by a wooden soldier.

During this festive season, 20% of purchases made through our BÔSAPIN link were donated to support the Foundation’s mission. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised a total of $860—a record compared to last year—through 64 orders placed in support of the Foundation!

Once again this year, our collaboration with BÔSAPIN, combined with your invaluable support, helped raise essential funds to support rehabilitation efforts and improve the lives of thousands of patients at our centers during the holiday season.

2024 Spring Campaign

Through the testimony of Jeanne Carrière, discover an inspirational physical rehabilitation journey. By supporting the REA Foundation during our 2024 Spring Campaign, you can help us continue our mission of supporting our beneficiaries in need.

On December 15, 2021, following an 85-meter fall that broke six of her cervical vertebrae and put her in a coma, Jeanne learned upon waking up on Christmas Day that she would remain quadriplegic. Thanks to the support of the Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay-de-Montréal, she was able to return to work shortly thereafter and submit her application to the “Cours écrire ton court” film competition, which she subsequently won.

Each year, paraplegic and quadriplegic individuals, like Jeanne, must relearn how to live after an accident. Support them by donating to the 2024 Spring Campaign via the link below.

The spring campaign is launched!

The REA Foundation relies on your support now more than ever for our spring campaign. With your help, you contribute to our mission to improve physical rehabilitation care.

On June 6, 2021, at just 18 years old, Shawn was in a serious accident. As a result, he became paralyzed from the hips down. However, with the support of the Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay-de-Montréal, he managed to turn this tragedy into a challenge.

Each year, about 3,675 new cases of spinal cord injuries, like Shawn’s, are recorded in Canada.

You too can support people like Shawn Burnett by donating to the REA Foundation through our spring campaign:
