An exceptional gastronomic evening to support epilepsy research, innovation and care

Following the success of its inaugural event last year, AURA returns for an even more outstanding second edition!

Join us for a gourmet cocktail reception in the heart of downtown Montreal, where leaders from the medical, construction, real estate and philanthropic communities will come together to raise funds for epilepsy research, innovation and care.

Created by Dr. Sami Obaid and the CHUM Epilepsy Group in support of the CHUM Foundation, this exclusive fundraising event organized in collaboration with Bastium Construction promises a refined and immersive experience.

Guests will enjoy a carefully curated gourmet menu, complete with exclusive wines, signature cocktails and captivating live performances, all in an elegant setting.

Only 220 tickets available for this exclusive event!

This year, AURA has set the ambitious goal of raising $150,000 to support advanced research and the development of innovative treatments that can improve quality of life for those living with epilepsy.

As a neurosurgeon specializing in epilepsy at the CHUM and a regular researcher at the CHUM Research Centre, I meet patients every day whose lives are profoundly altered by this debilitating condition. Epilepsy affects nearly 50 million people worldwide, and behind every diagnosis, there’s a unique story, family impacts and daily struggles. AURA is more than a fundraising event: it’s a gesture of solidarity, a message of hope and a tangible way to make a difference for all those living with epilepsy.”
