MONTREAL, July 11, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Laurentian Bank is proud to
announce that its two annual golf tournaments raised a total of $71,000
in aid of three non-profit organizations — the Christmas in Spring
Foundation, the Maison Mathieu-Froment-Savoie, and the Soupière de
l'amitié de Gatineau. The tournaments were held in the Outaouais region
and Montréal respectively.
"We are very pleased with the success of the tournaments once again this
year," underlined Daniel Desjardins, Laurentian Bank's Senior
Vice-President of SME-Québec, "with a good number of clients, business
contacts and employees heeding the call to enjoy a day of golf while
contributing to causes that are close to our heart. This kind of event
is perfectly aligned with our organization's commitment to supporting
organizations within the communities in which it operates."
Sharing the Bank's $71,000 contribution are the following:
-
the Christmas in Spring Foundation, which helps sick and handicapped children and their families by
offering them direct support to meet their urgent care and treatment
needs, as well as to cover other everyday expenses; thanks to the
Foundation's support, these children and their families can more freely
focus on healing.
-
the Maison Mathieu-Froment-Savoie, which supports the terminally ill and their families, thus enabling
them to live their final days with as much serenity as possible.
-
the Soupière de l'amitié de Gatineau, which fights poverty and impoverishment in all its forms.
