The Grand Rendez-vous, formerly known as the Chaînon Ball, is the most important and prestigious fundraising event of the Foundation. Since its first edition in 2014, it has stood out for its ambitious financial goal, raising several hundred thousand dollars each year to help fund Chaînon’s support and shelter services.
Thanks to the collaboration of a dedicated Honorary Committee, this event attracts several hundred people each year from the business world as well as citizens committed to the cause of women in difficulty.
Once again this year, the Grand Rendez-vous was co-hosted by the radiant Marina Orsini and Geneviève Borne, two wholehearted women and loyal allies of Le Chaînon and its mission. During this emotion-filled evening, we had the honor of welcoming Luc De Larochellière, Andrea Lindsay, and Bia Krieger, who performed their most beautiful songs in tribute to women in vulnerable situations. We were also fortunate to have the talented composer and pianist Anthony Rozankovic with us throughout the evening.
A virtual auction was held during the 7 days leading up to the event and raised over 40,000$ on its own.
One of the most powerful moments of this prestigious evening was the heartfelt project Paroles de femmes, initiated by actress Catherine Renaud. Under her caring guidance and that of director Marie-Ève Milot, the talented actresses from across generations : Milya Corbeil-Gauvreau, Maude Guérin, Élise Guilbault, Naïla Louidort, Louise Portal, Catherine Renaud, and Elkahna Talbi moved us deeply with the voices and words of women.
