This morning, the CHUS Foundation, in collaboration with its partners, announced the prizes that will be won next July as part of its Grand Tirage de la Santé | Groupe Beaucage.
For this new edition, the big winner will have the chance to choose between three prizes, namely: a magnificent cottage with a modern design from Maison Usinex plus a $50,000 allocation for the land, worth a total of $200,000; a fully equipped Sherbee Elegance VR van to go on an adventure, also worth $200,000; or $125,000 in cash. Among the 9 other prizes to be won, let's mention a 2022 electric Mazda MX-30 offered by the Beaucage Group.
The cottage, located in the Canadian Tire parking lot on Plateau Saint-Joseph, will also be open to the public as of tomorrow, Friday, April 15. As mentioned by Jean-François Bérubé, chairman of the board of directors of the CHUS Foundation,
“The funds raised by this popular lottery will be shared with ten other foundations in the region working in the field of health. On the side of the CHUS Foundation, all profits will go to the Mother-Child and Emergency Center (CMEU) at the Fleurimont Hospital. This new building will offer, among other things, pleasant and warm spaces for children and their families as well as for all those who need to go to the emergency room. The objective is to offer a healing and human-centered environment that will be bright, efficient, safe and calm for the patient, family and staff.”
In this regard, the partners have all made links between the cause supported by the CHUS Foundation, their family business and the values promoted by it. Mariève Beaucage, Vice President of the Beaucage Group — main sponsor of the Grand Tirage de la Santé | Groupe Beaucage, mentioned:
“This Mother-Child Center is particularly close to our hearts because the family is at the center of our values. It all started with my parents and now my sisters and I are transmitting these values to our own families. We also believe in the importance of transmitting these same values within our company. After all, our strength is our employees.”
In the same vein, Geneviève Morin, Deputy CEO of Maison Usinex, explained: “Our fathers, who are the founders of the company, were involved for 11 years with this organization in Estrie. It was in direct connection with their human, family and community values. So it was only natural for us, as the next generation, to go back to it, because we have the same values at heart. We know that our involvement in this project will have a concrete impact on the health care and services offered in Estrie.”
For his part, René Couture, merchant who owns IGA and IGA extra in Sherbrooke, mentioned: “It is important for us to be closer to our community and to take an active part in it. Our employees are enthusiastic about ticket sales because we are committed to making a concrete contribution to the quality of care available in our region. You realize it when you need it.”
