THANK YOU, 70 000 times over!
On November 3, we all celebrated together the 35 years of Sylvain Émard Danse with the show LE GRAND CONTINENTAL Remix. In front of a packed house, the sparkling cast of this anniversary edition – consisting of 33 stars, along with business people and friends of the company – made dance shine brighter than a disco ball!
We raised over $70 000, surpassing our initial objective. The presence and the generosity of our donors made the evening a vibrant event, a celebratory moment filled with emotion and gratitude. Your exceptional participation made this fundraising evening a success, reflecting the community that has supported us since our beginnings.
A huge thank you to our two honorary co-presidents Sophie Ducharme, vice-president – Leader Transformation at National Bank and the actress Danielle Proulx, and also to our MC Marie-Christine Trottier. Thanks also to our fundraising committee, the contributors – including LJT, our main partner, National Bank, and Quebecor –, our star performers, all the volunteers and the entire team, indeed all those who helped make this anniversary such a success. And above all thank you, our loyal audience, without whom dance would not have its full meaning.
Together we continue to bring this beautiful dance adventure to life. Thanks to your support, the future looks bright. Thirty-five years already, and it’s far from over: more moments of dance, of sharing and wonder await you.
The creation continues, and every bit of support counts. Would you like to join the momentum? Make a donation
