Thank you for your commitment and support of Mères avec pouvoir. Thanks to your support, this will be a memorable evening that will directly contribute to a future of opportunity for single mothers and their children.
About this evening
On April 22, 2025, the 4th edition of the l'Envolée benefit evening will bring together more than 350 members of the Montreal corporate community and public personalities. This exceptional event will spotlight the winners of the Mères avec pouvoir Award, rewarding the inspiring journeys of two participants who have distinguished themselves through their commitment and determination.
Together, we're aiming for an ambitious goal: raising $500,000 to support single mothers. Thanks to your generosity, we can make a significant difference to their lives.
An inspiring theme
The theme of our benefit evening, Inflorescence, symbolizes evolution and blossoming. In the plant world, inflorescence refers to a group of flowers clustered together on a single stem, forming a harmonious unit. This term, derived from the Latin inflorescentia (to bloom), evokes the process of growth, transformation and radiance.
With this theme, we want to convey the idea that every project in life, like every flower, takes root in fertile soil - soil that, for us, represents Mères avec pouvoir. Just as a flower slowly emerges from the earth, the women we support blossom, grow and build a solid stem, that of their dreams and projects in life.
On this evening, we will celebrate the blossoming of these mothers who, nurtured by the support and resources offered, are moving towards a future full of possibilities. Each action, each dream, each step towards autonomy is a flower that unfolds, and together they form an inflorescence rich in meaning and solidarity.
Event Co-Chairs
The honorary presidency will be held by Karinne Bouchard for a 2nd consecutive year, as well as Kim Thomassin. We are privileged to be surrounded by such exceptional women, who will make this evening a resounding success.
