Kingsey Falls, June 17, 2025 \u2013 <\/b>Mr. Hugues Simon, <\/b>President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades, personally welcomed the 23 scholarship recipients of the 21stbalancing<\/sup> award ceremony for the Cascades Program scholarship at the Al\u00e9o Foundation. A total of $100,000 $ in scholarships and services was thus awarded to the 2025 cohort at the Quebec multinational's premises.<\/p>\n

A prestigious partner of the Al\u00e9o Foundation since 2005, Cascades is one of the allies that has greatly contributed to the Foundation's success. Over these two decades, its investment of over $2,000,000 $ in Quebec's student-athletes has largely helped change the landscape of high-level sports for local athletes, by combining studies and elite sports under a single plan. The impact is tangible and significant.<\/p>\n

For example, Cascades has notably been a stepping stone for Mika\u00ebl Kingsbury<\/b>, Alex Harvey<\/b>, Am\u00e9lie Kretz<\/b>, Emilie<\/b> while Hugues Fournel<\/b> as well as\u2019Alexandre Bilodeau<\/b> all recognized for their athletic achievements and also, now, in their respective professional fields.<\/p>\n

In their own words:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00abAt Cascades, we deeply believe in human potential. Partnering with the Al\u00e9o Foundation to support student-athletes is a collaboration that directly aligns with our values. These young people already possess exceptional skills, and we want to give them an extra boost towards their goals. We are very proud to be part of their support team!\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u2013 Hugues Simon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00abIn sports, as in philanthropy, loyal teammates whom you deeply trust and with whom you share common goals are essential. For the Al\u00e9o Foundation, Cascades is the one that makes the assist for the winning shot. Together, we rack up points that drive student-athletes\u00bb victories. Successes in sports and academics aligned with their personal targets. Victories that offer the best of sports: accomplished individuals.\u00bb<\/p>\n
