MONTREAL, Nov. 29, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Almost $100,000 was raised on November 16 during the fourth benefit event organized by the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation's Emerging Leaders Committee and Joannie Rochette, spokesperson for the evening. Nearly 400 young professionals attended the event.
This one-of-a-kind cocktail dinner took place at Au Sommet Place Ville Marie, where guests were able to admire the city's magnificent skyline at night. Entertainment for the evening included temporary tattoos by Antoine Tava, wonderful urban frescoes signed by artist-painters Olivier Dumoulin and Sandrine Dufour, and musical beats by duo Hot n' Cold and DJ Alain Vinet.
The Heart Beat benefit event was an enormous success thanks to spokesperson Joannie Rochette and partners Groupe Park Avenue, National Bank Independent Network, Budget Propane, Lowe's, Pomerleau, PWL, and Air Canada with their contribution to the silent auction of two round-trip tickets for a destination in North America.
