The traditional IRCM Foundation Golf Tournament - Parcours santé took place on Tuesday, June 13 at Summerlea Golf Club and set a new record for the event. $230,000 were raised for basic and clinical research at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM).
Over 250 people gathered under the aegis of honorary president Nathalie Parisel, General Manager of Nedco Québec, to enjoy a sporting and networking day, while supporting the work of IRCM scientists. The day was rounded off by an exceptional auction, masterfully conducted by former Montreal Canadiens star Yvon Lambert, and a delightful dinner. Various speeches enabled guests to learn more about the IRCM's areas of research as well as realizing the importance of their support.
The funds raised for this 21st edition will be used to acquire new, state-of-the-art research equipment for IRCM researchers.
