On October 16 at Windsor Station, the highly anticipated Annual Ball of the Lise Watier Foundation will take place under the theme Solara. This 12th edition promises a dazzling evening, marked by solidarity, radiance, and transformation.
Co-chaired this year by Julie Godin, Executive Chair of the CGI Board of Directors , and Nicolas Patard, Managing Director and Head, Financial Poducts at National Bank, the event will bring together Quebec’s philanthropic and business communities around a shared goal: empower local women to reach financial independence.
In a festive atmosphere bathed in golden lights and solar reflections, guests will be transported into a unique sensory universe that celebrates the strength and beauty of light as a symbol of hope and renewal.
But beyond the brilliant glimmers and luminous displays, the Annual Ball is, above all, a celebration of the strength, resilience, and ambition of the women supported by the Foundation.
Julie Godin highlights the transformative impact of financial independence:
“When women thrive professionally, the whole society progresses. At CGI, we are committed to supporting their ambition and providing them with the means to innovate and grow.”
For his part, Nicolas Patard emphasizes the importance of the Foundation’s support:
“The power and economic impact of women are undeniable. By supporting their autonomy and professional growth, the National Bank contributes to a more equitable society. Every woman, through her determination, shapes a better future. I applaud the mission of the Lise Watier Foundation, which strengthens women’s entrepreneurial spirit by providing them with the essential tools to achieve financial independence and fulfill their ambitions.”
All funds raised during this exceptional evening will directly support the Let’s Start Up Pathway, helping more women access the tools and guidance they need to achieve lasting financial independence.
Join us for a memorable evening where Solara’s light will shine brightly for all those dreaming of a better future.
