A Successful First Edition of La Grande Raclette!

On November 10, more than 220 guests gathered at Bonsecours Market for the first edition of La Grande Raclette, a new fundraising event organized by Fondation Santé Urbaine, bringing together great food, warm company and generosity.

What better way to bring people together than over a delicious raclette? This simple, heartwarming idea inspired La Grande Raclette, a new fundraising event organized by Fondation Santé Urbaine.

The concept: bring together cheese lovers and food enthusiasts for a warm and welcoming culinary experience, all while supporting a cause that matters: the health of our community.

In the beautiful setting of Bonsecours Market, in the heart of Old Montréal, guests enjoyed an evening filled with great food, meaningful connections and shared moments.

More than just a meal, La Grande Raclette is an opportunity to come together, build connections and help improve healthcare for the people of Montréal’s Centre-Sud neighbourhoods.

A first edition bringing together more than 220 guests

More than 220 guests answered Fondation Santé Urbaine’s invitation to this inaugural event.

Between culinary discoveries, lively conversations and memorable moments, the evening brought together a generous and engaged community around a shared goal: making a difference in the lives of people receiving care.

By attending La Grande Raclette, guests supported the mission of Fondation Santé Urbaine, which works to improve care and living environments across 24 healthcare facilities in Montréal’s Centre-Sud neighbourhoods, including Notre-Dame and Verdun hospitals, CLSCs and CHSLDs (long-term care centres).

Because behind every fundraising event lies a meaningful ambition: giving healthcare teams the resources they need to provide more compassionate, patient-centred care at every stage of life, from birth to end of life.
