Emotion, commitment and triumph: Highlights from our fundraising event
More than 330 people attended the third edition of our annual fundraiser event, Dans la rue des jeunes, on May 14, 2025. This year’s theme was “Look With Your Heart.” The event was proudly presented by CN and Sun Life Quebec, valued partners of Dans la rue. Hosted by the talented Rebecca Makonnen in the beautiful Maison Alcan atrium, the evening’s festivities included some incredible performances by Cirque Hors Piste.
Dans la rue counsellors were on hand to engage with attendees, offering deeper insight into the support we provide to young people aimed at preventing homelessness and fostering stability.
Some of the work of the young artists from Dans la rue’s art room was on display for guests to admire. And the moving testimonies from youth from Emmett Johns School and Coalition Jeunes+ about their journeys made the evening all the more impactful.
A Resounding Success
The event raised $215,254 in support of Dans la rue’s mission, thanks to our generous sponsors, honorary event committee, invaluable donors, board members and leadership team, young philanthropists, partners, suppliers and loyal friends. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us in this celebration of hope.
