Today, as I accept the tremendous honour of stepping into the role of President and CEO of the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation, I am thinking of all the young people who will be guiding me, and guiding us all, along the path forward.

The Promise

Monthly Giving: The Best Way to Support Sainte-Justine
By signing up as a monthly donor, you will be a pillar of strength for children across Quebec, just like the professionals who attend to them with such care and diligence.

Viviane: Full of Life
Even before she gave birth to her daughter, Alexandrine knew her future would be inextricably linked with Sainte-Justine. And it’s all because of your heartfelt generosity. Which is why she chose a name for her baby that represents everything you have made possible for her.

Game Plan: Get Better
Only a few months ago, Milan, an elite athlete, found himself on a waiting list for a bone marrow transplant. Today, he is an ambassador for the 2022 Sainte-Justine Winter Triathlon.

The CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation and The Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation are joining forces to express their heartfelt appreciation to Tobi Lütke and Fiona McKean, co-founders of the Thistledown Foundation, for their tremendous $26 million donation in support of 13 children’s hospitals across Canada, through Canada’s Children’s Hospital Foundations (CCHF) and Children’s Healthcare Canada. This game-changing investment translates to $2 million each for Montreal’s two main acute care pediatric hospitals.

It was the year 2000. A then four-year-old Sébastien found himself in the Sainte-Justine trauma care unit with a serious cut to his right wrist. The experience left a lasting impression on him, his family and the adult he would grow into. So much so, in fact, that 21 years later, he decided to make arrangements for a planned gift to the Foundation through a life insurance policy. In so doing, he is paving the way for the next generation of committed young people.
