The 24h Tremblant, presented by Sun Life, has achieved a colossal feat, its largest fundraising event since its creation.
Thanks to a record participation of 4300 participants, 24h Tremblant raised no less than 5.8 million dollars!
It was the 22nd edition of this weekend of “sport, surpassing oneself and philanthropy”, and it took place from December 9 to 11 live at Mont-Tremblant.
“The weekend was simply exceptional in every way. The participants were enthusiastic, the crowd was large and the energy was high. It is clear that people were happy to renew the tradition and celebrate in a big way after two years where the event was not able to develop its full potential. The sense of pride we feel is immense and we share it with our participants. Their efforts and involvement have an invaluable impact on children,” said Simon St-Arnaud, executive producer of the 24h Tremblant.
The association is certainly pleased with the profits raised… and to distribute them to the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, the CHEO Foundation and the Tremblant Foundation.
Again this year, the organization was able to count on a ton of artists, including Les Trois Accords, Busty and the Bass, Domeno, Dan D-Noy, Alicia Moffet, DJ Short Cut, David Laflèche, Jason Bajada, Guillaume Lafond, Brittany Kennel, Julie Dasilva, Charlie Rose Fradette, Gilbert Fradette, DJ Fehmiu and DJ Caro.
Since 2002, a little more than 20 million dollars have been used for research and the fight against pediatric cancers.
Pierre Bruneau exclaimed on this subject:
“Twenty years of thinking big and making common dreams come true for a childhood without cancer, there is much to celebrate!”
In addition to running, walking and skiing for 24 hours, ten ambassadors each sponsored a child, spending a wonderful time with each other.
Congratulations toDominic Arpin, Patricia Boal, Phil Denis, Derick Fage, Philippe Fehmiu, Benoît Gagnon and Frédéric Plante, as well as athletes Alexandre Bilodeau, Alexandre Despatie and Erik Guay for their generosity.
The next edition of the 24h Tremblant will take place in December 2023.
