The Grand Banquet de l’extraordinaire returned for its third edition on March 28th. This signature event of the CHUM Foundation raised $1.4 million to empower the CHUM to revolutionize healthcare by accelerating its expertise and technological development.
A fusion of sensory and culinary experiences awaited the opinion leaders, business decision-makers, artistic personalities, and doctors who have chosen to lend their support to the CHUM.
The Grand Banquet de l’extraordinaire, co-chaired by Nadine Renaud-Tinker, President of RBC’s Quebec Headquarters, and Kheng Ly, President and CEO of Brivia Group, is back for a third time at the amazing Salle des pas perdus in Windsor Station.
This benefit event shines a spotlight on the extraordinary work done by the CHUM’s teams. It’s also tremendously important to the CHUM Foundation, as the previous two banquets helped raise $2.8 million for our extraordinary hospital.
The CHUM Foundation is grateful for the support of the following compassionate individuals, who help make the Grand Banquet de l’extraordinaire an unforgettable evening of philanthropy.
Nadine Renaud-Tinker,
President of RBC’s Quebec Headquarters
“I am very excited to be co-chairing this year’s Grand Banquet de l’extraordinaire in support of the CHUM Foundation. As a charitable partner of the CHUM Foundation, RBC Royal Bank’s goal is to help make state-of-the-art healthcare available to everyone, regardless of where they live, who they are or where they come from. Together, we are building a healthier world where everyone can thrive.”
Kheng Ly,
President and CEO of Brivia Group
“It is an honour to be co-chairing this great event for the CHUM Foundation. At Brivia Group, we strive to create living spaces that support their communities and help people thrive. We want the same for our healthcare system, especially such venerable institutions as the CHUM.”
The body is much like the ocean floor, with all kinds of secrets tucked away from sight. For the third-ever Grand Banquet de l’extraordinaire, we are celebrating a department that shines a spotlight on the unseen and plumbs the depths of the human body to uncover its mysteries: the radiology and nuclear medicine department. Behind the imaging and the diagnoses are the department’s teams, who do brilliant work.
This popular charity gala will whisk guests away to a radiant world. Networking, touching stories, colourful performances and an innovative fine dining experience custom-designed by five Quebec master chefs all await!
Come and discover a unique menu carefully crafted by Stéphane Modat (Le Clan, Québec City), Émile Tremblay and Sylvain Dervieux (Les Faux Bergers and Buvette gentille, Charlevoix), Fisun Ercan (Bika Farm & Cuisine, Montérégie) and Marc-André Jetté (Hoogan et Beaufort, Montréal).
Each of these chefs has mastered the art of combining the tastes of land and sea, and they’ve joined forces to unite complex flavours and balanced textures in one brilliant menu.
The final touch for this exceptional evening will be a glittering performance by multitalented Quebec artist Gregory Charles.
You can make a contribution with a real impact on the lives of thousands of CHUM patients, as well as everyone in Quebec. The last banquet honouring the ophthalmology department raised $1.3 million. With your support, the CHUM can fast-track the development of expertise, keep driving medical research and make artificial intelligence a key component in the innovations that let healthcare professionals act faster than disease.
