For us, excellence means providing health care and services using state-of-the-art medical equipment in modern facilities adapted to patients’ needs.

Events and fundraising

We cannot overlook the global pandemic that has affected everyone. The Montfort Foundation worked hard to meet the growing needs related to the fight against the spread of COVID-19. We were one of the first organizations to launch a campaign in support of a COVID-19 emergency fund, the results of which were overwhelming and beyond all our expectations. The fund generated $210,000 in cash contributions and more than $250,000 was donated in personal protective equipment and meals for our staff and frontline workers. To all our donors, partners, suppliers, volunteers, administrators and employees, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Even with this great success, the pandemic has put our Foundation in a position where we need to innovate and identify other sources of funds to help support the hospital’s emerging priorities. We have launched an original lottery, "Loto-Mobile"! For only $50, you have one chance in 4,000 to win a 2020 Ford Escape as well as other “mobile” prizes.

Tickets are on sale until Dec. 18, 2020.

Your philanthropy leads to excellence. Excellence saves lives.
