FONDATION TREMBLANT
It is essential to give back locally to the region that has generously hosted 24h Tremblant's events since its beginnings. More than 5 million dollars have been donated to the Fondation Tremblant since 2001.
What is Fondation Tremblant?
The Fondation Tremblant has the primary goal of coming to the aid of underprivileged youth in the MRC des Laurentides. It gives these children a chance for a better quality of life, and in this way, to develop their full potential and plays a key role in allocating donations to the projects that they deem to be the most relevant and urgent, put forward by accredited and recognized non-profit organisations in the region.

- One in four children is vulnerable in at least one of the following five areas of development: physical health and well-being, social skills, emotional maturity, cognitive development and language and communication skills
