Collecting of gifts for the Guignolée du Dr. Julien

Take advantage of your visit to the Cartier home to leave a gift that will be given to a disadvantaged child; all donations will be given to the Guignolée du Dr. Julien fundraising campaign on Saturday, December 17.

The Guignolée du Dr. Julien fundraising campaign, which brings a smile and offers hope to hundreds of children, has been in existence for eight years. The mission of the Fondation du Dr Julien (Only in French) is to enable every child to develop his or her full potential, in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It promotes the development of community-based social pediatrics for the well-being of the greatest possible number of children.

Through its community-based social pediatrics model, the foundation aims to have an impact on the approaches used with vulnerable children in Quebec and to help institutions reach these children.
