A record amount of $695,000 net!

25 Oct 2017

On October 12, the Alskar Ball to benefit the Lise Watier Foundation was held under the honorary presidency of Mr. Martin Couture, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sanimax. The event welcomed more than 700 guests and raised the historic sum of $695,000 net. The funds raised will be used to finance the Lise Watier Foundation’s new Let’s Start Up Program, which helps women in need achieve sustainable financial independence. We would like to thank Martin Couture for his honorary presidency, Julie du Page for the animation, as well as the precious partners and collaborators of the evening. A big thank you also to the committee of ambassadors and guests who, by their presence, made this evening a success.

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Montreal, Quebec City, the Laurentians, Montérégie, Sherbrooke and Toronto. More than 300 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.
