$1 000 000 raised for the prevention of psychological distress of teens!

A DAZZLING EVENING WITH PORTUGUESE FLAVORS!

In a welcoming atmosphere inspired by the captivating theme of Olá Lisboa, the 13th Mayors Ball lit up the evening of Friday, November 29, with its vibrant colours and festive energy. A resounding success, the Bal brought together the business community in support of youth mental health. 

To experience this immersive event, more than 600 guests attended in support this noble cause. This 13th edition was copresided by Lisa Giannone, president and COO,  BFL CANADA and Stéphane Garneau, president, Micrologic. We thank them for shining a light on the cause. We also extend our gratitude to the mayor of Quebec City, Bruno Marchand, our patron of honor, for the invaluable support in making this charitable evening a success.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of guests, partners and donors, the 13th Mayors Ball exceeded all expectations, raising a net profit of $1 000 000. The funds raised will be invested in mental health initiatives led by organizations in the Capitale-Nationale and Eastern Quebec, with the objective of reinforcing teens mental health. They will also allow the Foundation to continue the deployment of its satellite office in the region and awareness raising among teenagers and their entourage through workshops, in Quebec high schools. 

We’re already looking forward to welcoming you next year to celebrate the Fondation Jeunes en Tête’s 14th Mayors Ball, which will take place on Friday, December 5th, 2025. To reserve your spot, please confirm your attendance today at the following email address :  [email protected]
