30 August 2024

The 17th edition of the Défi Vélo Papillon Harnois Énergies, held on August 24th, ended on a highly positive note. Under a radiant sun, more than 500 participants answered the call to raise a record amount of $150,000 in support of Camp Papillon. These funds will be used to finance unforgettable holiday stays for young people living with disabilities.
An ever more inclusive event

Krystel and Nathan, proud ambassadors of the Défi Vélo Papillon Harnois Énergies and campers at Camp Papillon, kicked off this festive day, accompanied by the blaring sirens of the Saint-Charles-Borromée firefighters. This year, the fundraising activity introduced a walking/running route, making the event accessible to a wider audience.

 

" We are extremely proud of this 17th edition of the Défi Vélo Papillon Harnois Énergies," emphasized Suzy Guérin, Executive Director of Fondation Papillon. "This success is the result of remarkable teamwork and reflects the generosity of all the participants, the 55 volunteers, and the many sponsors. We thank each one of you from the bottom of our hearts. "

An Unexpected Donation!

As part of its annual golf tournament, PwC offers its honorary president the opportunity to support a cause close to their heart. This year, that honor goes to Serge Harnois, who has chosen to highlight Camp Papillon. Fondation Papillon would like to thank PwC for this $20,000 donation dedicated to continuing the camp’s mission.
