Launch of the “Golf for Your Community” Benefit Golf Tournament in Support of the Equilibre Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Foundation for Children and Youth

We would like to draw your attention to the launch of the “Golf for Your Community” benefit golf tournament under the honorary chairmanship of Mr. Martin Gagné, Regional Director and Associate of Groupe l’Ami Junior, in support of the Equilibre Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Foundation for Children and Youth. Considering the growing needs of individuals struggling with mental health issues as well as those of the youth in the youth services of the CIUSSS of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, our two organizations have decided to unite in order to make a real difference for people in need in our region.

The goal is to raise funds to provide vulnerable children, teenagers, adults, and elderly individuals the opportunity to receive quality care in various environments supported by the Equilibre Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Foundation for Children and Youth.

This collaboration is highlighted by the continuation of the great movement of generosity and solidarity initiated last February with the large night luggage book collection. Indeed, all the dealerships of Groupe l’Ami Junior mobilized to collect pillows, cuddly toys, pajamas, and books for the young and frail patients across the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region. This campaign sparked a glimmer of hope in the hearts of many. Therefore, it was evident for Mr. Martin Gagné, Regional Director of Groupe l’Ami Junior, to continue their contribution through a significant benefit event that will allow us to continue our respective missions. For over 40 years, the Equilibre Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Foundation has financially supported projects, organizations, and institutions working in mental health to improve and develop quality services. The Foundation for Children and Youth financially supports projects benefiting the youth of the youth services of the CIUSSS of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, enabling them to develop life projects full of hope.

Thus, we invite the community to come and “golf” on August 11th at the Arvida Golf Club to support these children, teenagers, adults, and elderly individuals in need! 18 holes of golf will be available for players with various prizes and tastings of regional products. A dinner show will conclude this beautiful day. Tickets are sold at $200 per person ($800 per foursome) including registration, cart, dinner, and all the details of the day.
