"We are very grateful for the great generosity of the public and Canadiens fans who have once again heard and responded in large numbers to our call for solidarity. Their support will allow us to pursue our actions among youth in need, especially as we prepare to donate funds to several organizations working across Quebec. We would also like to thank our valued partners as well as all the members and friends of the great Canadiens family who have contributed in different ways to the success of this year's RadioTéléDON," said Geneviève Paquette, General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation.
Year after year, the funds raised help the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation carry on with its mission to help vulnerable youth across the province, in part by offering introductory ice-skating and ball hockey programs during the school year, as well as overnight camp stays over the summer holiday. Part of the proceeds are also donated each year to community organizations for projects and activities that allow children in need to adopt healthy lifestyles through physical activity. The Foundation will soon unveil the full list of organizations that will receive financial support this spring to get young people in their region active.
