The money raised will be used in particular to finance the purchase of sports equipment for an elementary school in the region.
The goal is to collect money to inject into the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie in terms of our team’s registration, but also to give back, because in the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie we have to sponsor an elementary school. So this year, for example, we sponsored the Du Vallon school in Petit-Saguenay
