Our foundation
People who give themselves
Our vision
The Fondation Noël au printemps was created by people with a heart who wanted to invest in a cause close to their hearts: the well-being of children suffering from illness or disability. Pampered by life, they wish to share what they have received to try to lighten the burden of children and their parents who need it most.
The Fondation Noël au printemps contributes to alleviating the suffering and distress of low-income families with sick children, by providing direct assistance to needy individuals and families by defraying the cost of medical treatment for a child suffering from an illness or disability, and any other expenses deemed useful by the Foundation’s directors.
A heartfelt story
Every spring, Guy Noël – the founder – organized a pool 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.
