$790,000 net raised at the Lise Watier Foundation ball

23 Oct 2018

On October 11, the “Lights of Marrakech” Ball benefiting the Lise Watier Foundation took place under the honorary co-chairmanship of Ronald Dahms, Executive Chair, Optimum Talent, and Nancy Paquet, Vice-President, Investments, National Bank of Canada. This escape into the lavish world of Marrakech allowed us to raise the generous record sum of $790,000 net for the Lise Watier Foundation. It was an evening filled with magic, human warmth and solidarity.

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Montreal, Quebec City, the Laurentians, Montérégie, Sherbrooke, Drummondville and Toronto. More than 350 women a year are committed to taking action through the Let’s Start Up Pathway. They graduate with a better understanding of their strengths and skills, as well as the knowledge and tools to implement their professional project. Women thus begin a new journey towards financial independence through entrepreneurship, a return to school or a more fulfilling job.
