Montreal, at the Heart of Leucan’s Village

This special event marked the 25th anniversary of the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, presented by Proxim. It was a celebration filled with generosity, demonstrating our solidarity with children with cancer and their families.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Maison Alcan, the many participants, and all those recognized at the event, including Maison Privée, RBC Génération, Local 144, Collège Trinité, École secondaire De Mortagne, and École secondaire Marcellin-Champagnat.

Thanks to you, this day was a success, bringing hope and support. Thank you for your presence at the Leucan Village Challenge!

A courageous gesture to support little Élodie

To support 4-year-old Élodie following her diagnosis, nine members of her family and a family friend decided to take on the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, presented by Proxim.

With their heartfelt symbolic gesture, they raised over $13,000 to support Leucan’s work with the children and families it serves. Their remarkable mobilization earned them the title of Citizen Leader, a wonderful way to highlight their commitment and spirit of mutual aid.

Congratulations to the Together for Élodie team!

A wonderful wave of solidarity at Collège Saint-Hilaire

The students and staff at Collège Saint-Hilaire decided to get even more involved this year. After taking part in various initiatives over the years, no fewer than 25 participants took up the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge on April 29!

This exceptional mobilization, in memory of a 17-year-old boy from the region who passed away last February, raised nearly $20,000.

Congratulations to the entire Collège Saint-Hilaire team, which won the title of Youth Leader of the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, and a huge thank you to all the donors who made this achievement possible.

Another powerful gesture for Leucan at Collège Trinité

On April 28, Trinity College demonstrated once again that commitment and solidarity are part of its DNA. During the most recent edition of Leucan’s Shave-a-Head Challenge, students, staff members, and families rallied together with heartfelt enthusiasm, raising over $10,500 to support the fight against pediatric cancer. Thanks to this achievement, the school has once again been awarded the title of Youth Leader, a well-deserved recognition that reflects the generosity and perseverance of the entire college community, which faithfully supports Leucan’s mission every year. A special thank you to Marie-Andrée Rho, who has led this project for all these years.

Monumental mobilization at De Mortagne High School to support Oscar

On May 27, the community of De Mortagne High School and the city of Boucherville joined forces for an exceptionally large Shave-a-Thon. In support of Oscar, a courageous student battling cancer, teacher and city councilor François Desmarais launched an appeal that resonated loudly: more than $51,000 was raised! Having himself overcome cancer in his youth, François had grown his hair for two years before shaving it off, a gesture laden with meaning. Oscar’s family, deeply committed to this cause, played a key role in this success and, later that day, also took up the challenge, now sporting a shaved head as a sign of solidarity. Congratulations on this Leucan Youth Leader Challenge!

An enthusiastic crowd for Marcellin-Champagnat’s shaved heads

Last May, Marcellin-Champagnat High School decided to take up the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, and it was a resounding success! Driven by the organizer’s inspiring initiative, the campaign raised over $10,800 to support children with cancer and their families. In front of an impressive and enthusiastic crowd, the 16 participants courageously and emotionally agreed to have their heads shaved or cut as a sign of solidarity. Their remarkable commitment earned the school the title of Youth Leader, a well-deserved recognition that highlights the generosity and spirit of mutual aid of the entire community surrounding this high school.
