Longueuil, June 13, 2023 – Today is the official launch of Generations Challenge 2023, a unique philanthropic movement that rallies several hospital foundations across the province. The fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne and 15 other foundations are coming together for the 4th edition of this major fundraising event, whose goal provincially is to raise $1 million to support hospitals so that they can offer safe, quality care on the cutting edge of technology. Josée Lavigueur, the event’s spokesperson since its inception, is inviting Quebecers, from every generation, to join in this movement.
$300,000 in support of essential projects
The money raised by the Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne will be used to equip the Hospital with cutting-edge technology, including a revolutionary robot for knee replacement surgery.
A challenge accessible to everyone
By taking part in this inclusive Québec-wide event, accessible to everyone, citizens can choose a way to push their limits while enrolling those around them to make a donation, using the crowdfunding platform of the foundation in question. Participants choose their own challenge—there are lots of inspiring examples featured on the event’s website at defidesgenerations.com. No matter how they choose to push their limits, participants will be helping their hospital respond to its most pressing needs!
Solidarity, a guarantee of optimal impact
The Generations Challenge is much more than an event. It’s the biggest fundraising movement in support of our hospitals. It’s a societal initiative that’s part of a broader desire to transform health care and create a more efficient health network. Hospital foundations are crucial government allies in improving access to care by offering more research, more innovation and greater patient well-being. These foundations play a vital role in helping to invest in projects that reduce wait times and hospital stays, not to mention improving equipment, training and innovation.
Join the movement!
Registration is open! Join this huge wave of solidarity with our hospitals that will be sweeping across Québec until September 23, thanks to the support of precious sponsors—including our media partner, Québecor, and presenter, RONA.

"It's been a year of major changes in the health network. We're continuing to deploy the vision of our health and social services Plan, which is to create a network that is more humane and more efficient. I want to applaud this initiative of several hospital foundations across the territory. It’s amazing to see that we can all rally together to offer the best health care in Québec.”
“There’s no such thing as a bad idea! It can be as simple as committing to reading one book a week, doing yoga every morning, or organizing a garbage pick‐up operation…
Every goal counts in making a difference!”
