The Grand Banquet de l’extraordinaire returned for its fourth edition on March 20th. This signature event of the CHUM Foundation will raise founds to empower the CHUM to revolutionize healthcare by accelerating its expertise and technological development.
A fusion of sensory and culinary experiences will await the opinion leaders, business decision-makers, artistic personalities, and doctors who have chosen to lend their support to the CHUM.
On Thursday, March 20, 2025, help the CHUM act faster than disease and join us for a delightful, experiential dining experience with honorary co-chairs Philippe Adam, President and CEO of Pomerleau, and Marie-Claude Dumas, President and CEO of WSP Canada.
This benefit event shines a spotlight on the extraordinary work done by the CHUM’s teams.
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.
Marie-Claude Dumas,
President and CEO of WSP Canada
“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.”
Philippe Adam,
President and CEO of Pomerleau
“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.”
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.
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.
