THE DIRECTORS SHOWBAND: Public event: February 18th, 2012

Chances are we all know someone who has fought or is fighting cancer, or worse, someone who has died of cancer. The fight against this disease can be very scary and even lonely, but it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s very comforting and reassuring to know there’s the Cedars Cancer Institute’s CanSupport Program at the Montreal General Hospital to help patients and their families in the dreaded battle against this often merciless disease.

We hope you can join us for the 12th annual "Friends for the Cure" fundraiser to be held Saturday February 18th, 2012 at Le Madison in Saint Leonard. Proceeds will once again be forwarded to the institute. Tickets are $150 pp. For tickets or more information, you can message me or you can call 514-793-4226.

Time 6:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.

Entertainment will be provided by  "The Directors Showband".

Join us in helping cancer patients and their families with the guidance and support they deserve.

Wouldn’t you want that help, too?

THE DIRECTORS SHOWBAND: Public event: February 11th, 2012

For twelve years, the Montreal AHEPA Family (American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association) has held its St. Valentine’s “For the Love of Children” Ball, to benefit children’s causes in the Greater Montreal area. To date, we have successfully raised over $400,000.

This year’s beneficiary will be the Giant Steps Foundation (www.giantstepsmontreal.com) which supports the Giant Steps School and Resource Center for autistic children. This unique institution provides exceptional support to children and their parents.

Giant Steps School and Resource Center is the only institution in Quebec focused exclusively on autism spectrum disorders. Respected throughout the educational and medical community, its therapeutic and educational programs strive to improve the abilities and skills of children with autism and related disorders while integrating them into regular schools and the community at large. Ultimately, the Giant Steps team aims to enable the greatest number of autistic children to reach their full potential and achieve independence in our society.

The Saint Valentine’s Ball is the crowning event of our annual fundraising campaign for children’s causes. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, February 11th, 2012, at the Palace Reception Hall, 1717 Le Corbusier Boulevard (north of St. Martin), Laval, Quebec H7S 2K7.

In previous years, this event has supported the Montreal Shriners Hospital for Children; the Montreal Children’s Hospital; St. Justine’s Hospital; and the Children’s Wish Foundation.
