Atwill-Morin superheroes rappel down the walls of CHU Sainte-Justine for the 3rd Rallye de Sainte-Justine Français
MONTREAL, Oct. 11, 2023 /CNW/ - To bring hope to dozens of little patients at Sainte-Justine UHC, Atwill-Morin's Spidermen, personifying well-known superheroes, rappelled down the walls of the CHU Sainte-Justine this Wednesday, October 11. The spectacular descent took place in conjunction with the Rallye de Sainte-Justine, the 3rd edition of which will be held on October 18 under the theme of superheroes.
Organized by the Cercle de Sainte-Justine, the Rallye is a fun-filled team-building event that unites the business community around a single goal: to support the CHU Sainte-Justine. This year's goal is to raise $475,000 to enable the hospital's teams to seize current and future development opportunities in pediatric health.
During their abseil, the superheroes were able to communicate directly with the young patients via a radio communication system, in order to respect the vulnerability of some of them with weakened immune systems. Hospital volunteers also distributed treats to the children in the run-up to Halloween.
