The Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation donated $20,000 to Fondation Santé Urbaine.

On Tuesday, May 14, 2024, the Fondation Santé Urbaine team was invited to a ceremony at the Bell Centre where it would officially receive the cheque for this sizeable donation.  

The donation is for the Boxing for School program, which uses sports as a form of psychosocial intervention, promoting overall health and academic perseverance with youth from underserved communities.

In 2022–2023, over 150 students participated in the program.

Thanks to the invaluable support of the program’s youth workers, participants benefit in so many ways: they do more physical activity, develop their self-esteem, adopt healthy lifestyle habits, have more confidence, show greater perseverance in their academic journey, among others.

Thank you to the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation for this incredible support!
