The 11th Lise Watier Foundation Ball: Over $1.3M Raised

The 11th Lise Watier Foundation Ball, with its futuristic Neo Tokyo theme, marked another memorable evening for the foundation. Held on October 17, the event brought together over 700 guests, all dedicated to the mission of supporting women’s economic independence. Under the honorary co-presidency of Roger T. Duguay, Managing Partner at Boyden, and Benoit Lacoste Bienvenue, Managing Partner at KPMG for the province of Quebec, the evening raised a record net sum of $1,358,753 thanks to the generosity of the guests.

This exceptional amount will allow the Foundation to continue supporting hundreds of women through the Let’s Start Up Pathway, guiding them toward sustainable financial independence.

A huge thank you to our partners, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and everyone who contributed their time, resources, or support to make this evening a success. Your unwavering commitment enables the Lise Watier Foundation to pursue its impactful mission with women and provide them with the means to achieve their full potential!

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.
