In 1999, Montreal General Hospital operating room nurse Tina Lamanuzzi wanted to hold a fundraiser in aid of the MGH. She enlisted the support of her husband and friends and held the first Valentine's Day gala at a neighbourhood hall.
The 2019 “Friends for the Cure” fundraiser was another outstanding success.
The 19th annual event, under the theme “Une Soirée à Paris”, raised $120,000 in aid of the Montreal General Hospital’s Peri-Operative Program, which provides crucial cancer care.
The "Friends for the Cure" committee is excited to announce its 20th-anniversary fundraiser, under the theme "Carnevale di Venezia", will be held Saturday, February 15th, 2020, at its new home, Le Mont Blanc in Laval.
