The CHUM Foundation is pleased to introduce the members of its Leaders of Tomorrow Committee for the 2026-2027 season.
Young Philanthropists Committed to Health
Following an exceptional year of engagement marked by creative and unifying initiatives, this diverse group of young professionals helped fund promising projects at the CHUM.
Last year, their signature Quille-o-thon, along with their new event, Entre deux battements, held at FOIL Gallery, raised more than $140,000. This represents a significant contribution from Montreal’s young philanthropic community.
Passionate Leadership
The coming year promises to be just as dynamic for the Leaders of Tomorrow Committee.
Lambert Quézel, Account Director at Effix, is renewing his commitment as president for a third consecutive year. He will serve alongside Serena Zhang, Project Director, Asia-Pacific and Middle East, Foreign Direct Investment at Investissement Québec, who returns as secretary.
Sarah-Maude Caron, Art Director at PME MTL, joins the governance team as vice-president following a year of remarkable involvement as a committee member.
“For 2026-2027, we want to take the Committee to the next level by creating more distinctive events, guided by a strong creative vision, that bring Montreal’s young professionals together and inspire them to get involved. Our objective remains the same: to put our expertise, networks and energy to work for a tangible cause, advancing health research.”
