Cross-Country paired with Youth Challenge

Collège Stanislas is proud to be taking part, for the seventh year running, in the Défi-Jeunesse Sainte-Justine private school challenge. As such, we're joining the biggest gathering ever for the children of Sainte-Justine! This is the sporting and charitable challenge that the private schools have set themselves, with the aim of joining forces to raise funds for the Sainte-Justine UHC Foundation. The goal? To save more lives by equipping the Sainte-Justine UHC Trauma Center with cutting-edge tools.

We look forward to seeing you on October 26 at Parc Beaubien to cheer on our students in grades ⁶ to ² during their cross-country run. Our youngsters will be running for the cause! We must all support them in reaching their personal goal of $35, as part of Collège Stanislas' overall $35,000 objective. In addition to the envelope, students will be able to create their own online fundraising page on the Fondation Defisj.org website .

Since 2011, Collège Stanislas has raised more than $138,000, while the Défi-Jeunesse as a whole has raised more than $3.6 million for the CHU Sainte-Justine trauma unit. This year's goal is to raise $700,000 to purchase equipment for the Centre of Excellence in Traumatology, support research projects and promote the prevention of childhood trauma.

The fundraising period runs until October 23, and full details can be found on the CHU Sainte-Justine Defisj.org Foundation website.

SAINTE-JUSTINE Awareness Week will be held from October 16 to 20. Special activities are planned for the occasion. Check out the program!
