The cause

Support the funding of cancer research

7th EDITION OF THE MASKED EVENING

This year, true to form, the event will propel you into a total and paradise immersion. Featuring a unique theme, the Soirée Masquée will take you back to the colourful pastellis of the 1980s. Immerse yourself in a colourful discotheque, take out your best costumes and enjoy an idyllic experience, reliving your best memories with the sounds of the greatest success of that time.

In the form of a cocktail reception and a dancing party, the Soirée Masquée will take you to its radiant and enchanting world. This year, the proceeds raised will support an artificial intelligence research program to improve care for cancer patients. They will purchase servers to help predict cancer response, personalize treatments and reduce side effects in ENT, lung, digestive, prostate and brain cancers.

This fabulous evening will take place on November 11, 2023, at TOHU in Montreal, starting at 7 p.m.
