UPDATE: 2020 Annual Gala
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we have made the difficult yet prudent decision to postpone our Gala to September 23, 2021. Our collective health, safety and well-being remain our top priority. Although we are being confronted with an unprecedented crisis, we remain steadfast and unwavering in our commitment to support youth mental health and military-related PTSD. Furthermore, we are honored to have provided pandemic-related support. In these times of uncertainty, our collaboration is that much more crucial. If you would like to make a donation or purchase a table for 2021, please contact us at info@fondationbfl.org.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Nurses, physicians, researchers, orderlies, maintenance workers and other staff members at McGill University Health Centre are on the front lines of this crisis, delivering exceptional patient care and service to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. “We hope that this token of thanks will show these everyday heroes how grateful and supportive their community is, as well as offer them some comfort during these critical times,” says Justin Smith-Lorenzetti, President of the Barry F. Lorenzetti Foundation.
“Thank you to all of the medical professionals and hospital staff for maintaining an excellent standard of care during these challenging times. It is truly the most selfless act to face the world’s problems head on to try to keep everyone safe. Thank you – your hard work and bravery do not go unnoticed,” says Joelle Sholzberg, Executive Director of the Barry F. Lorenzetti Foundation. The Barry F. Lorenzetti Foundation would also like to take this opportunity to thank all essential service workers who are working hard to reduce the impacts of the pandemic.
