Where Do Your Donations Go?

Towards a cancer-free future for children

At the Fondation, we do everything in our power to ensure that the donations meant to sustain hope among Québec children with cancer and set them on a path to a cure are truly used for that specific purpose. We honour major investments, therefore, intended to support or inform research in pediatric hematology and oncology. In fact, the Fondation is recognized the world over for its generous financing.

Over the past 28 years, the sum of $15 million has been invested in research, and an additional $40 million has gone toward the construction, procurement and development of a one hospital centre and three Charles-Bruneau units in Québec.

More recently, the Fondation Charles-Bruneau pledged to invest $22 million in research at the CHU Sainte-Justine, thus becoming the largest donor in the hospital’s history. These funds will go towards financing projects carried out at the new Unité de recherche en immuno-hémato-oncologie Charles-Bruneau, where leading researchers are paving the way for tomorrow’s medicine. A medicine adapted to each child’s genetic code, one that leads to more effective personalized treatment, with fewer side-effects and long-term complications.
