Our fondation
People who give
Our core values
The Fondation Noël au printemps was born of the commitment of people with a deep desire to make a difference in the lives of children with disabilities.
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering and distress of low-income families with a child living with a disability, by offering them concrete support.
With our help, these families can access essential therapies, obtain specialized equipment, benefit from respite care, enroll their child in day camps or cover other essential expenses, depending on the needs assessed by our Board of Directors.
Through our commitment, we aim to offer every child the opportunity to reach their full potential, and every family the support that makes such a difference.
A story of the heart
Every spring, Guy Noël – the founder – organized a billiards tournament with his friends for his birthday. He took the opportunity to donate the money raised to a charitable cause. From year to year, the tournament grew in size and the sums raised became more substantial. The idea of the Fondation Noël au printemps was born.
Since 2005, the Fondation Noël au printemps has been an organization supported by an organizing committee and honorary patrons, faithful to the values originally instilled by its founder.
