Financing Events

It is still difficult to determine and evaluate all of the repercussions the COVID-19 pandemic has had on young people. However, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal organisation has observed that many vulnerable youth have found themselves even more isolated, as they are or have been deprived of contact with people of confidence (teachers, social workers, …), as well as the support and guidance these people bring them.

As fundraising opportunities have been limited by the pandemic, the organisation’s financial resources are diminishing whereas the number of youth in need of support is on the rise. This is why Québec’s 14 Big Brothers Big Sisters organisations have decided to unite forces in the face of this exceptional situation. As of today, they are launching a fundraiser to break social isolation in youth. The organisations are confident that the people of Quebec’s generosity will allow them to reach their objective of $50,000 in donations.
