It was wonderful to see you on Friday night and to have the occasion to celebrate another successful year for the International Cup Kids Playing for Kids.
We are so very fortunate to have you as an ongoing partner who helps to not only support our cause through fundraising but also promotes such a wonderful message to so many young people and their extended families.
As discussed, we will talk with the Montreal Childrens team about the possibilities for the exciting year ahead in terms of the launch in January and get back to you.
Once again – congratulations and thank you for everything that you do.

MOT DE JESSICA ARSENAULT – 19 ANS PATIENTE CHU SAINTE-JUSTINE
Jessica est une jeune fille qui a une maladie orpheline neurologique avec des composantes de la paralysie cérébrale, seule la recherche pourra un jour lui dire ce qu'elle a ... En fait, en participant aux collectes de fonds , Jessica souhaite un jour permettre aux parents d'enfants naissant avec une maladie orpheline d'être rassurés dès leurs premiers jours de vie. Ne pouvant être présente aujourd’hui, elle souhaitait vous partager quelques mots:
"Distingués invités, chers membres du comité et adeptes du soccer, Je pourrais commencer ce mot en vous disant merci pour votre dévouement à la cause. Mais pour cette situation, le mot merci est un peu trop simple. Ce que je souhaiterais exprimer est au-dessus de cela. Je suis à la fois touchée et reconnaissante pour l’accueil chaleureux que vous avez réservé à Tristan et moi lors de notre participation aux cérémonies d’ICKPK. Un immense merci aux membres du comité pour votre précieuse collaboration, merci d’autant faire rayonner la cause auprès de vos participants. Une chose est sure, vous nous prouvez que l’union fait la force. Tous ensemble vous nous avez démontré que la détermination, la motivation et l’amour du sport peut mener loin, autant dans vos résultats sportifs, que dans la somme amassée pour les deux fondations hospitalières, CHU Sainte-Justine et hôpital de Montréal pour enfants. Grâce à vous tous, la somme aujourd’hui remis à la Fondation du CHU Sainte-Justine, permettra de faire un l’achat d’un équipement de pointe. C’est avec votre appui que Sainte-Justine peut continuer d’offrir les meilleurs équipements à leurs patients et faire de la recherche pour offrir l’espoir à d’autres enfants comme moi et leurs familles
Au-delà de votre contribution financière, c’est aussi la portée de votre geste qui m’a inspirée. De voir autant de personnes mobilisées pour les enfants est inspirant et rassurant – pour nous les patients et pour nos familles. Je souhaite aussi que votre engagement inspire une nouvelle génération de philanthropes qui seront encouragées à s’engager à leur tour envers la Fondation CHU Sainte-Justine et la cause des enfants, et ainsi assurer du même coup la pérennité de cette immense chaine de solidarité. En mon nom, au nom de tous les patients et de leur famille, un énorme merci du fond du cœur pour votre générosité. Et à l’an prochain"
A word from Tristan, MCHF spokes child.
"As a patient of the Montreal Children's Hospital for the past 14 years I would like to give a huge thanks to all who participated in this event. I love sports more than anything and the idea of merging sports into a fundraiser is such a great idea and I am happy to have been a part of it. Congratulations to you all. You should be very proud!"
