Tremblant's 24h Announces Biggest Partnership in its History - Freedom 55 Financial Becomes Official Presenter of Tremblant's 24h Français
MONTREAL, June 1, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Tremblant's 24h is proud to announce it has just signed the largest partnership in the event's history with Freedom 55 Financial, a division of London Life Insurance Company. By the same stroke, Freedom 55 Financial becomes the official presenter of the event, which takes place this year December 8 to 10, 2017.
The new alliance will help Tremblant's 24h to pursue its constant growth over the next few years and will certainly help the organizers to achieve their ambitious fundraising goal, set at $3.25 million for 2017, in support of the three main beneficiaries of this major sporting and philanthropic endeavour: Fondation Charles-Bruneau, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, and Fondation Tremblant.
"The exceptional generosity and support of Freedom 55 Financial will permit us to continue to make a real difference for sick and disadvantaged children through the foundations that benefit from our support," said Simon St-Arnaud, Executive Producer of Tremblant's 24h. "We are delighted by the prospect of starting this new partnership with a company made up of such dedicated individuals. The firm already has 20 registered teams; its members have embraced the challenge and contribute to the donation drive one dollar at a time. We share the common aim of making the 17th edition of Tremblant's 24h an unprecedented success."
In 2016, for the first time in the event's history, more than 300 teams accounting for close to 3,000 participants took to the slopes and trails to ski, walk and run for the cause. Tremblant's 24h broke yet another record last year by raising an extraordinary $3,114,313 for children's causes.
One for all, all for one!
Freedom 55 Financial has participated in Tremblant's 24h for more than seven years. Because improving the well-being of communities and children coast to coast has always been a core company value, Freedom 55 Financial employees and financial security advisors are involved in a variety of year-round fundraising activities for the event. Last year, Freedom 55 Financial's 11 participating teams raised more than $80,000 for sick and disadvantaged children.
"We're pleased to make this partnership official today. For us, the alliance is a logical continuation of our current collaboration and a natural fit with the 24h mission," added Stef Bourgault, who leads the significant fund-raising efforts made by Freedom 55 Financial teams in Quebec. "We want to contribute further to the success of this important event and its worthy mission."
"This event aligns well with our corporate values," says Abbie MacMillan, Vice-President, Freedom 55 Financial. "We're looking forward to helping make this year's event even stronger."
