​Quebecers have shown tremendous generosity towards people with cancer by getting involved in the Quebec Cancer Foundation’s Grand défoulement. So far, they have raised over $155,000 by organizing activities, making donations or participating in events – and it’s not over yet!
 
Get on board or stay tuned to fundraising activities held throughout the province all year long as part of this vast movement of solidarity supported by Co-operators.
 
With your spouse, family, colleagues, friends, fellow students or on your own, join the movement to honour or support someone affected by cancer. Every single activity will be helping thousands of Quebecers, so be sure to take action!

“What’s great about the Grande défoulement is that people who want to get involved can do just about anything. There are so many different types of activities! And if you can’t find anything you like, you can always make a donation to people who are living with cancer. It’s easy and it helps people right here in Quebec show more than ever before our solidarity against cancer” said Bruno Pelletier, Spokesperson for the Québec Cancer Foundation. “To all event organizers and participants, thank you for your support.” 

Better coping with cancer together

The money raised by the Grand défoulement will help the Foundation pursue its mission of supporting Quebecers with cancer and their loved ones. To help them feel more empowered, the Foundation offers them practical support services that meet their real needs and facilitates their access to medical treatments.
