A Soirée Tel-jeunes brimming with generosity!

The 14th annual Soirée Tel-jeunes was held on November 27, 2019 at Entrepôts Dominion in Montréal, under the honorary presidency of Eric Bussières, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of Uni-Select Inc. Nearly 300 guests attended the event, which raised $104,225 for Fondation Tel-jeunes, the organization that supports the services provided by Tel-jeunes and LigneParents.

A loyal, involved partner

For 13 years now, Uni-Select Inc. has unconditionally supported Fondation Tel-jeunes in holding its various fundraising activities. By opting to be the presenting partner of this year’s Soirée Tel-jeunes, the company has unquestionably played a major role in the event’s success. Fuelled by determination and conviction, Mr. Bussières was actively involved in selling tickets with the help of a devoted and generous honorary committee.

No act is too small for a good cause

The $104,225 raised during this year’s Soirée Tel-jeunes will help fund Tel-jeunes and LigneParents, two professional support services available to Quebec’s young people and parents 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Some 52,000 young people and 14,000 parents used these services last year. It is vital that Tel-jeunes and LigneParents keep up with the changing technologies and methods of communication in order to stay relevant. Which is why the community’s support is so important.
