About Opération Enfant Soleil:
Founded in 1988, Opération Enfant Soleil raises funds to improve pediatrics for sick children in Québec. Most funds are distributed to the four major pediatric centres in Québec: the CHU de Québec-Laval University’s Centre mère-enfant Soleil, the CHU Sainte-Justine in Montréal, the Montreal Children’s Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre, and the CIUSSS de l’Estrie-CHU de Sherbrooke. The charity also provides grants to local organizations and regional hospitals. The grant money is used to acquire technologies, upgrade facilities, and purchase specialized equipment for treatment. Since its inception, the charity has distributed over $240m throughout Québec.
In F2019, Opération Enfant Soleil granted a sum of $13.9m to 18 different regions in Québec. Items funded by the grants include the construction of an additional autism evaluation room in Montreal, the purchase of 10 pulse readers in Laval, and a new mobile respirator in Outaouais.
Opération Enfant Soleil’s most important fundraising activity is its telethon. With over 2,000 volunteers, the charity runs a 15-hour live television broadcast, featuring entertainers, artists, and children ambassadors. The event aims to show how people can come together to support sick children and their families. In F2019, the charity reported that the telethon raised $20.2 million, although this was not reflected in the charity's financial statements.
