Fondation René-Verrier

The Fondation René Verrier channels community support into palliative care services across Quebec through its signature star dedication program and annual events. The "Obtenir mon étoile" initiative pairs memorial tributes with handcrafted glass stars, connecting donor recognition to tangible healthcare funding. The foundation processes contributions through the Zeffy platform, streamlining participation in both commemorative programs and fundraising activities. The foundation's event calendar centers on three core gatherings: the Divine Soirée Blanche gala, regional golf tournaments, and seasonal memorial ceremonies. Each event combines social connection with direct support for palliative care facilities and services. The programming reflects the foundation's integrated approach to healthcare philanthropy and community building. The organization's work bridges individual memorial gestures with systematic healthcare support through its established donation pathways. Local artisans produce the foundation's commemorative glass stars, creating physical symbols of community participation. The foundation maintains partnerships with regional palliative care providers to direct funds toward specific care initiatives and service improvements.
