Citation:
« Nous sommes fiers de voir notre plus ancien programme, celui né en même temps que la Fondation en 1985, toujours se renouveler. En 2023, c’était l’ajout du programme Donnez au suivant et cette année, nous présentons notre première cohorte du notre programme de Leadership lancé au printemps. À l’aube de nos 40 ans, en 2025, c’est vivifiant de toujours bâtir pour aider les étudiant·e·s-athlètes d’ici à atteindre leur plein potentiel. »
– Patricia Demers, CEO of the Aléo Foundation.

“We’re proud that our oldest program, born at the same time as the Foundation in 1985, is still going strong. In 2023, we added the Give to the following program, and this year, we present our first cohort of the Leadership program, launched in the spring. As we approach our 40th anniversary in 2025, it’s invigorating to continue building to help local student-athletes reach their full potential.”
