The fruit of a great collaboration

An annual fundraising campaign to raise funds for the CHUM's radiation oncology department. This is an initiative of Dr. Guila Delouya and Dr. David Roberge, two CHUM radiation oncologists who want to give back to their patients.

The Montreal Cancer Institute is proud to present its 15th edition of the Concert Against Cancer, an exceptional evening dedicated to the timeless memory of The Beatles, magnified by the unique experience of the Orchestre Philharmonique du Québec, conducted by Maestro Alexandre Da Costa and accompanied by surprise guests throughout the evening!

Cet événement-bénéfice a été mis sur pied par Gaétan Cusson, un survivant du cancer de la prostate et passionné de golf. Il a su, au cours des années, mobiliser plusieurs personnes et a convaincu plusieurs donateurs et partenaires de se joindre à la cause de la recherche sur le cancer de la prostate.

Dr. Normand Blais is a hemato-oncologist, member of the CHUM thoracic oncology team and researcher at the Institut du cancer de Montréal. Dr. Blais decided to combine the useful with the pleasant by organizing a race in La Fontaine Park, in collaboration with the Institute, which organizes the activity and manages the donations.

Initiated by Dr Jean-Paul Bahary in 2015, this colorful signature event is distinguished by its most unique immersive experience. This evening has the originality of changing the theme and research project for each of its editions.

In three decades, the Canderel Challenge has raised more than twenty million dollars, divided equally between the two beneficiaries.
