Spirit of Solidarity at the 2025 21K de Montréal
On April 26, 2025, a record number of 94 runners came together to raise funds for the REA Foundation as part of the Charity Challenge at the 21K de Montréal. This inclusive walking and running event welcomes thousands of participants and is designed to be accessible to all fitness levels, including people with reduced mobility.
This year, thanks to the determination of our participants, the generosity of our donors, and the involvement of everyone involved, we surpassed our initial goal of $25,000. In total, we reached a record amount of $31,345, the highest ever raised by REA during the 21K de Montréal.
Where will the donations go?
All funds will go directly to our Beneficiary Assistance Fund. This service provides support for individuals facing urgent needs and limited financial resources.
Great news: Increased support per request!
Because we exceeded our initial goal of $25,000, the REA Foundation has decided to increase the amount granted per request through the Beneficiary Assistance Fund.
The amount will now rise from $100 to $125 per person. This change will allow us to help more people, more effectively.
We sincerely thank everyone who made this fundraising effort such a success: our runners, our donors, and the participants and organizers of the Zumba fundraising activities. Without you, this service improvement would not have been possible
