Soirée en or

The Montreal General Hospital Foundation is pleased to introduce its traditional annual event “Soirée en Or”, which will be held on June 7, 2023 at the prestigious Ritz Hotel in Montreal. 

The event will bring together the Foundation’s faithful long-time donors and partners in support of a cause that is close to our hearts: the research and care of patients with lung, stomach and esophageal cancers. These types of cancers are among the most deadly, with a survival rate of less than 20% after 5 years. Therefore, the Division of Thoracic Surgery at the Montreal General Hospital, headed by Dr. Ferri, is working tirelessly to improve treatment and increase the chances of survival for patients with these types of cancer. 

Profits from “Soirée en Or” will help support research projects and care for patients with these cancers. The Montreal General Hospital’s Division of Thoracic Surgery has the largest esophageal cancer program in Canada and one of the largest lung cancer programs in the country. Thanks to the generosity and continued support of our community, the team would be able to continue its research projects and offer personalized treatments to increase the chances of survival for its patients, while limiting their suffering. 

Thanks to everyone in the community who supported the cause.
