Since 2010, the Félix Deslauriers-Hallée Challenge benefit event has raised funds for the Quebec Cancer Foundation’s Programme à Felix, developed exclusively for 15-to-39-year olds with cancer.
When he died of a rare cancer at age 20, Félix left his mark on the people around him with his vibrant will to live, his courage and his determination.
The Félix Deslauriers-Hallée Challenge that was organized in his memory embodies the values he bequeathed to the future and invites the people of Sherbrooke to celebrate by participating in various sports and cultural activities.
