Your generosity was the beating heart of Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne’s fine wine auction. Together, we raised an extraordinary $265,000 in support of youth mental health in the Montérégie.

We are deeply grateful for your support for The Philanthropists’ Wine Cellar, presented by Desjardins. Thank you for turning your passion for wine into a gesture of hope and a brighter future for the youth who need it most.

Your participation goes far beyond bidding or donating—it’s an act of empathy and solidarity for young people who could be your children or those of your loved ones. You’re offering them a better future and crucial support to overcome their challenges.

Through your generosity, you’re a vital player in changing lives. Trajectories marked by anxiety, loneliness and dark thoughts become stories of courage, friendship and resilience.

Lives like those of Mégane and Raven, two courageous young women who shared their stories to show you the direct impact of your support. 

Attending Horizon showed me I’m not alone in facing these challenges. Your generosity helps youth like me get back on track.

Thanks to you, I’ve learned to better manage my emotions and found friends who truly understand me. Thank you for making this possible for us.

Once again, a huge THANK YOU for your generous support. We look forward to seeing you again in 2025! 

With heartfelt gratitude,

A Meaningful Cause to Support

Psychological distress is now one of the most pressing health issues of our time. Since the pandemic, mental health-related consultations have surged by 30% in hospitals across Quebec. At Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, this reality is reflected in increasingly overwhelmed emergency rooms and a growing need for psychiatric support.

Panic attacks, depressive episodes, suicidal thoughts — mental health conditions are now among the leading causes of hospitalization.

By taking part in The Philanthropists’ Wine Cellar, you help respond to this silent emergency. You offer vital support to those who need it most, right here in Montérégie.

Watch the 2024 Paulée!

Thanks to their generosity, the philanthropists of La Paulée contributed to raising more than $1 million to fight psychological distress among young people. Join them to make an even greater difference!

Only 32 places are available.

Reserve yours today! Tickets are $5,000.
A tax receipt will be issued for most of this sum. We look forward to seeing you there!

We look forward to seeing you!

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
