Our co-worker, Sylvie Deshaies, Senior Advisor, Administration and Group Implementation, Group Savings and Retirement, in Quebec City, will participate once again in the Grand défoulement walk for cancer to raise money for the Quebec Cancer Foundation (QCF). This year, the walk will take place on September 12, at the Sainte-Foy outdoor recreational area.
Sylvie has been involved with the QCF for a little over four years. She volunteers with the telephone support line. In 2018, when the QCF launched the first Grand défoulement walk, we signed up and formed a small team, named Les Sunshine. More recently, she also offered her volunteer services for the QCF shelter, which will open once health conditions permit.
“I’ve been volunteering with people with thyroid cancer since 2005, but in 2017, I contacted the QCF. I fell in love with the foundation, which is supported by generous and dedicated individuals. That’s why I’m so attached to it”, states Sylvie.
Once again this year, iA Financial Group will support Sylvie and make a donation to her team. Want to do the same? Go to the team’s page and give generously! (page in French only)
The funds raised will be used for Quebec Cancer Foundation programs and services that support thousands of Quebeckers who are fighting cancer and their loved ones, through concrete services that meet their needs.
