💙 $443,578 raised to support our mission & for mental well-being — we're incredibly thankful!
On November 13, 2025, the prestigious Mount Stephen hosted the 2nd edition of TAM-TAM DON, our major benefit evening hosted by Isabelle Maréchal. Under the soft lights of the Elizabeth Ballroom, members of the business, community, and cultural sectors gathered to support a shared cause: mental well-being and the power of listening.
✨ Highlight of the evening
The 2025 Janette Bertrand Well-Being Award was presented to Marjolaine St-Jules, surrounded by Marie-Claude Barrette (Chair of the Jury) and Janette Bertrand, first recipient of the award in 2024 and former spokesperson for Tel-Aide Montréal. The ceremony took place in the presence of Julie Bélanger, current spokesperson for Tel-Aide Montréal and member of the jury.
Congratulations as well to the two other finalists — Jean-Claude Guilbault (Logis 12+) and Sister Hélène Paillé (Maison L’Exode) — for their caring and inspiring commitment. 🌿
Let’s not forget the moving testimony from Alain Champagne, highlighting our collaboration with Le Groupe Maurice as part of our RPA Project.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Honorary Co-Chairs, Nathalie Larue (Desjardins – Principal Partner) and Stéphan Drolet (KPMG in Québec – Associate Partner), as well as our Event Committee — Mathieu Staniulis (Desjardins), Sébastien Benarroch (KPMG), and Linda El Ghordaf (KPMG), supported by Geneviève Lafaille (KPMG) and Isabelle Daigneault (Desjardins) — for their exemplary commitment.
💫 Thanks to the generosity of our guests, partners, and sponsors, a little over $165,000 was raised during the evening — a collective success made possible by your unwavering support.
