Thank you for helping mental health shine brighter here at home💙
The 2025 edition of The Philanthropists’ Wine Cellar, presented by Desjardins, concluded with exceptional generosity, elegance and heartfelt solidarity. Thanks to YOU, $260,000 was raised to transform the spaces within the Psychiatry Department at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne into environments that are calming, luminous and human for the patients cared for each day.
A closing night shaped by the invisible and the essential
The 2025 Paulée offered a unique experience: an intimate sound immersion inspired by the lived reality of Isabelle, a psychiatric patient at the Hospital, allowing guests to feel what it means to live with a mental health condition.
Experiment this reality:
Guests then discovered a bright, refined and minimalist dining room, a powerful symbol of what philanthropic commitment makes possible:
👉 transforming darkness into clarity
👉 transforming isolation into comfort
👉 transforming physical spaces to better transform lives
Throughout a refined menu crafted by chef Jean-Sébastien Giguère of restaurant h3 and guided by sommelier Élyse Lambert, guests shared their grand crus, their stories and a shared vision: offering support for mental health.
Your impact is immense
Your generosity made it possible to:
✔ welcome patients with dignity when they arrive with very little
✔ offer wellness, creative or movement-based therapeutic workshops
✔ create softer healing environments
✔ support the devoted mental health care teams
Every gesture makes a real difference in the daily lives of hundreds of people receiving mental health care here in Montérégie.

We look forward to welcoming you again in 2026 for another remarkable vintage of solidarity.
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.
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!
