Beautiful things are on the horizon

A Word from the President and CEO

Beautiful things are on the horizon

The year that is drawing to a close is marked by several key milestones in our history: record mobilization, the evolution of our brand image and the completion of our three-year Évolution 2022–2025 plan. Our roadmap for the last three years enabled us to bring to life our vision of generating increasing value to make a bigger, lasting impact.

We can say mission accomplished: our net surplus has gone up 40%, testifying to the amazing collective movement backing us and helpring us support Quebec hospitals, health organizations and four pediatric care centres so that the teams can excel at what they do best: care for children, across the province.

With you by our side, we will continue to build a future where every child can glow with health.

Together, anything is possible

  • $30.1 MRaised in 2025. A new record for even greater impact!
  • 100,000Children benefit directly from our support in Quebec’s regions.

    "It’s very motivating to know that the entire population of Quebec that gives to Enfant Soleil is behind us and supports our day-to-day research. We couldn’t do all we do for children today without this support. Thank you!"

    Sylvie Desjardins, Ph. D.

    Clinical Specialist in Medical Biology, CHU de Québec-Université Laval

    "To the people who give to Enfant Soleil: know that your contribution makes a huge difference in the lives of the children. Our Rose would probably not be here today if shehad not received all that care. It takes an entire community to give children a better life and to help them thrive. Thank you!"

    Marie-Ève and Bernard

    Rose’s parents, Enfant Soleil for Montréal

    "Young children always think their parents have all the answers, but there isn’t much they can say about an illness, when so much is unknown. I can’t imagine the helplessness they must feel. I decided to become a monthly donor to help in my own way. I’m very proud to be a member of their second family, the Parents Soleil family."
