On January 20, 2026, during its 8th annual Thankathon, the entire CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation team put everything on hold, picked up the phone and spent the day saying heartfelt thank-yous to its donor community.
Taking a moment to say thank you, because we can only grow beyond together!
For the team at the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation, the start of the new year is a time of gratitude. Taking place right after the holidays, our Thankathon is an event dedicated to thanking our incredible donor community.
This year, we thanked an extraordinary 8,551 of you for rallying around a common goal: to give Sainte-Justine’s care and research teams the means to make their ambitions a reality. It’s thanks to kind-hearted people like you that they are reaching new heights. With your support, they are improving the care options available to mothers and children today, as well as harnessing the unprecedented potential of modern science to help the patients of tomorrow.
The medical revolution is already underway. Together, let’s give every child the chance to grow up healthy.
You are the reason we can dare to set such lofty goals. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to acknowledge your indispensable role in supporting mother and childcare in Quebec.
We look forward to speaking with you during next year’s Thankathon! ♥
Thank you for being part of Juliette’s village
In January 2025, acute pain brought Juliette and her family to Sainte-Justine. She was quickly assessed, underwent a battery of tests, and was later diagnosed with a rare condition: a bile duct cyst, which required a series of emergency procedures. It was the beginning of a long journey—one defined by the kindness of an entire community that you’re an integral part of. Your generosity had a profound impact on Juliette’s care, from the smiles brought by visits from Dr. Clown to the comfort and respite provided by compassionate volunteers. Juliette is doing much better now, and her family would like to express their heartfelt thanks for all the happy moments you made possible.
