The CHUS Foundation is proud to announce a new project that will benefit many families. Starting today, a "soft kit", including pyjamas, a bonnet, mittens and a blanket, will be given to parents in need or whose child was born prematurely at Fleurimont Hospital.
It's thanks to Groupe Beaucage's initiative that this project has come to fruition, and thanks to our employees who, by joining our Donation in the Worplace program (DAS), make a donation from their salary to finance the purchase of the sets.
"We are delighted to be behind this magnificent project, and proud that our employees are supporting us in this endeavor. It's thanks to their contribution that this dream is becoming a reality.We are convinced that newborn babies will benefit from it!"
says Daniel Beaucage, President of Groupe Beaucage.
"We encourage our customers and employees to take part too, either at our dealerships or via the web link on each of our sites.We very much hope that this project will become a great chain of generosity".
says Mariève Beaucage, Vice-President of Groupe Beaucage.
The CHUS Foundation would like to thank Groupe Beaucage and its employees, and all those who will participate in this collective effort. "I would also like to thank the maternity and neonatology staff, who have worked so hard with us to distribute these beautiful outfits and bring a little sweetness to these newborns and their parents, who are going through important, but sometimes insecure, times.
adds Martin Clermont, Executive Director of the CHUS Foundation.
The goal of the Les petits pyjamas campaign is to provide one-time assistance to 800 families a year by donating a gift set designed for low-weight or newborn babies. The gift set will also be available at the CHUS Foundation boutique, and profits will be reinvested in the campaign.
