A substantial donation from the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital Foundation!

In addition, it was possible to learn early Friday morning that the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital Foundation and the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Wine Salon will put up a huge

gesture.

Many of our fellow citizens are suffering from the floods. After reflection, we made the decision to take a significant step forward for these people affected by this misfortune. We will therefore offer 50% of the profits collected at the Salon des Vins to the victims. We don't yet know which organization will have to manage this sum, but obviously, we have a penchant for the health of these people,” explains Denis Lapointe of the Fondation and the Salon des Vins. “We are certain that the money will stay in the region. That is also our mission. So, if we make a profit of $100,000 this year, $50,000 will be donated to the needs of disaster victims. In addition, we will have a donation box at our booth and if we raise another $10,000, it will also be donated,” explains Denis Lapointe.

We noticed that the Show was being held close to the event, so we could not remain indifferent. People offer their help, their sympathy through social networks, by taking action, but they can also do it by coming to the Salon. This will make it possible to materialize this sympathy”, says Richard Dubois of Desjardins, a major partner of the event, but also very committed to raising funds for the victims.

The lower the water level falls, the more our level of sympathy must rise,” says Denis Lapointe. Actions to take We will therefore be able, in the coming days, to register as a disaster victim or volunteer to clean up My region, I care!
Tickets for the Salon des Vins can also be purchased at www.salondesvinsvs.ca, or at Desjardins and SAQ branches in the region. Tickets will also be available at the door of the Vaudreuil Arena on May 17, the day of the event.
