An Evening to Celebrate Generosity

On February 5, the Fondation RÉA held the second edition of its Recognition Evening in the elegant setting of the 36th-floor hall of the BNC Tower. This special occasion provided an opportunity to celebrate the commitment and generosity of our community.

The evening was hosted by our master of ceremonies, Camille Chai, a former athlete and person living with a disability, who was also a former user of the services at the Clinique Parent Plus at the Centre de réadaptation Lucie-Bruneau.

Honouring Those Who Make a Difference

The evening was an opportunity to recognize donors, partners, volunteers, and collaborators who actively support physical rehabilitation.

We also celebrated people of exceptional dedication, healthcare professionals and staff at our facilities, who, through their commitment, generosity, and humanity, make a real difference in the rehabilitation journey. These remarkable individuals are often nominated by donors, including grateful patients and families.

The Tangible Impact of Donations

For the final day of our sale, we visited the Centre de réadaptation Raymond-Dewar to share a reading moment with our patients living with hearing impairments or communication disorders, as well as with the healthcare professionals who support them every day.

The event highlighted the real impact that donations have on the lives of our users, whether through support for clinical projects, research, or direct assistance to beneficiaries. In a warm and inspiring atmosphere, Fondation RÉA emphasized that every contribution helps improve the quality of life and the rehabilitation journey of many individuals.

Scholarships That Transform Lives

The evening began with the RÉA Scholarship Ceremony, an inspiring moment highlighted by heartfelt testimonies. The scholarship recipients, including Kim Plourde, currently attending the École du Barreau, shared the tangible impact that the Foundation’s support has had on their studies and personal engagement. These stories show how every contribution can transform lives and support the rehabilitation journey of many individuals.

Thank You to Those Who Make It All Possible

Fondation RÉA warmly thanks all donors, partners, volunteers, and participants who contributed to the success of this evening. Your support and trust make a real difference in the lives of people undergoing rehabilitation. Thanks to you, we can continue to support meaningful projects and reach even more individuals on their path to recovery.
