Diner des Producteurs – 2017
$1200000 net
FOR ARSACS RESEARCH
On October 26th, the 11th edition of the “Diner des Producteurs ” was held under the honorary presidency of Mr. Jean-Guy Desjardins, Fiera Capital. A record net amount of $ 1,200,000 was raised. Thank you to all those who contributed to the success of this unique evening and whose donations support medical research.
