The Fondation is delighted to announce the arrival of the Coupe Charles-Bruneau in Quebec City. On Saturday, May 25, Quebec City-area residents will be able to experience the frenzy of ball field hockey at Place Jean-Béliveau.
In 2018, the Charles-Bruneau Foundation inaugurated its fourth Charles-Bruneau Unit in Quebec City: the Charles-Bruneau Pediatric Hemato-Oncology Unit at the Centre mère-enfant Soleil of the CHU de Québec-Université Laval. To date, close to $9M has been granted to fund numerous projects related to the treatment of pediatric cancers.
With this Unit in Quebec City, it was only natural that a major event should take root in this city. For the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, it's important to involve the Quebec City community in the fight for a cancer-free childhood. Did you know that nearly 40% of children treated for cancer come from the greater Quebec City area? In all, more than 800 children are treated locally.
This year, companies in the Quebec City region are invited to compete against each other in a festive day full of surprises. It's a golden opportunity to forge links with colleagues, consolidate work teams and play for the cause!

A 4th edition of the Coupe Charles-Bruneau in Montreal
Registration is also open for the 4th edition of the Coupe Charles-Bruneau, to be held on Saturday, September 28, again at Stade IGA. Inaugurated in 2021 in honour of Charles Bruneau's love of the sport, this charity ball field hockey tournament has since raised over $2,950,000 for children with cancer - an exceptional success for the Foundation's youngest event.
Thanks to presenting partner IGA
The Coupe Charles-Bruneau would not have been possible without IGA, a valued partner of the Charles-Bruneau Foundation for over 15 years. Its merchants and loyal customers are important allies in financing research and developing projects dedicated to pediatric hemato-oncology. The Foundation is immensely grateful for the company's renewed support.
Team up for a cancer-free childhood!
