Montreal, October 31, 2023 – For number 3e edition of the Trek Financial Coaching Gala, more than 200 people gathered on October 30 in Laval to join their forces and donations for the benefit of two foundations centered on Quebec youth.
Among the distinguished guests, more than 20 athletes and sports personalities, including the gala’s honorary president, Patrice Bernier, Émilie Fournel, Étienne Boulay, and Mathieu Choinière, were present to mingle with the guests and share their diverse journeys. The inspiring evening, featuring the legendary voice of Michel Lacroix, fostered enriching encounters between athletes and business people, alongside silent and live auctions that contributed to the fundraising.
In their own words:
«Trek Financial Coaching has cultivated a special relationship with athletes for several years now. As a former member of the Université de Sherbrooke Vert et Or track and field team myself, I understand their reality and know just how far the combination of athletic and academic ambitions can lead. Supporting these young people also means helping to create future citizens and high-value employees with solid foundations.»
Marc Bérubé, President of Coaching Financier Trek
«The importance of sport and its support goes far beyond physical activity. Sport embodies values such as discipline, collaboration, and passion, which resonate with Mirabaud, a bicentennial family-owned company.
When practiced at a high level, sports have in many aspects an entrepreneurial dimension: a vision, resources to be deployed, an ability to overcome challenges, all imbued with a significant amount of hard work. The Mirabaud Group, which has embodied these entrepreneurial values for over 200 years, supports several female athletes in the realization of their dreams, some of whom will attempt to win a medal at the Paris 2024 Games.
Sport also offers a valuable opportunity to build connections within the community, bringing individuals together around a common goal and thereby strengthening our social fabric.
We are proud to support the 2023 Trek Financial Coaching Gala in Montreal, which helps create a better future through the development of our young athletes and our society as a whole.»
Sylvain Racine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirabaud Canada Group
«At the Trioomph Foundation, we’re driven by a commitment to helping students stay in school, with the firm conviction that we have the means to change young people’s paths through innovative initiatives. We are delighted to join this quartet of major players for this gala and that Coaching Financier Trek shares our conviction by committing to our mission alongside us.»
Sylvie Leduc, President of the Trioomph Foundation
«Partnering with Coaching Financier Trek and Mirabaud to benefit the young people who will become the leaders of tomorrow is perfectly aligned with the values of the Aléo Foundation. We firmly believe that business leaders who invest in student-athletes are driving forces for a better future for our society.»
Martin Lavigne, President of the Aléo Foundation
