Combine elegance with urgency!

THANK YOU 82,000 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I would like to express my gratitude to our major partners, Devcore, Koena SPA, Merck, Heidi Robinson, Notaire, Clinique Mémoire, and the Palais des Congrès, Alain Filiatrault and your entire team at Tonik Web Studio, Denis Daoust from Créamédia, and @Pierre Thibault from Gatineau.TV for your unwavering support over so many years. Thank you once again to Sébastien Joncas of Fleuriste Fleur de Guy for the most beautiful decorations we have ever seen, and to Salon Belle en Soi for the silent auction and our wonderful hosts, Annie Lachance and Kev B. Aubut from 94,9 Rouge.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your kind presence and your renewed commitment, year after year. A huge thank you also to our 35 volunteers, whose remarkable work greatly facilitated the evening's proceedings. Thank you to our ambassadors (@Lily Ruki, @Sébastien Joncas, Méliza Parenteau, Nathalie St-Jean, Anick LeBourdais, @Natacha Robitaille, Maïka Séguin, and Camille Bourgeois), and bravo for your involvement, energy, and dedication to this cause that brings us together.

A special thank you to Anik Charron, a true favorite. I understand perfectly why Manon chose you as her friend.

Of course, I could never organize this gala alone. A huge THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, to my wonderful Gina Carney of Événements GINA & CO Events, who has been dedicated to this cause for three years now. Without you, this gala would never have achieved the success it has.

Thank you to Anick McConnell from École de danse Anick McConnell (ÉDAM) and your wonderful Power of Women troupe, Dominique Levesque Bridal and your models, and the beautiful Angélie-Rose, violinist.

Thank you to DJ Fontana for getting our guests moving at the end of the evening!

We invite you to save the date for Saturday, February 6, 2027, for our next Gala, which promises to be just as glamorous, unifying, and above all, emotional. See you soon, and once again, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts ❤️

Jo-Anne Swanson ❤️
