26th Wine and Cheese Evening a great success

On May 7, the Mathieu Froment-Savoie Foundation held its traditional Wine and Cheese Evening, a highlight that brought together 325 participants around a shared cause: supporting people at the end of life and their loved ones.

Thanks to your presence, your generosity and your commitment to our mission, this edition raised an exceptional

$70,000, a testament to the importance our community places on palliative care and compassionate support.

A warm and unifying evening

The evening brought together committed people for a gourmet experience featuring carefully selected food and wine pairings. The friendly atmosphere, inspiring conversations and enthusiastic participation made it a memorable moment for all.

A concrete impact for the Maison Mathieu Froment-Savoie

Beyond the pleasure of getting together, your contribution directly supports the essential mission of the Maison Mathieu Froment-Savoie: providing humane, dignified and caring support to people at the end of life and their loved ones. Every ticket purchased, every donation and every gesture of support allows us to continue this vital work.

An inspiring testimonial

“My mother’s stay at the Maison Mathieu Froment-Savoie… it changed everything! For her and for us. We had peace of mind when we couldn’t be with her. For my mother, it was the feeling that she still had value as a human being.”

— Véronique Bédard, family member
