UPDATE: January 28, 2022
Dear Friends of the Foundation,
We were hoping to announce that we would be able to host our postponed event “A Night for Life” in March 2022 but Omicron had other plans for us. As always with this pandemic, nothing is certain and circumstances continue to change.
The good news is that we have decided to reschedule our long-awaited event one last time. The gala is now set for Friday, June 17, 2022.
Tickets for the original event will continue to be honoured. If you are unable to attend, you can choose to request a full refund or donate either a portion or the total cost of your ticket in support of children and adolescents with cancer. Please email us your preference at info@vitachildrensfoundation.ca no later than February 28, 2022. A tax receipt will be issued for the 2020 taxation year. For those of you who wish to continue holding on to your tickets, an official receipt will be issued only after the event has taken place.
Further details will be announced in the coming months.
Thank you!

UPDATE: March 12, 2020
Dear Donors, Sponsors, Volunteers and Friends,
As you know, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and advisories against large social gatherings we were obliged to postpone our benefit gala “A Night for Life”, which was originally planned for March 14, 2020.
We truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused. The health and well-being of our guests and volunteers were our most important consideration as we made this unavoidable and responsible decision.
We want to assure you that we are monitoring the COVID-19 situation very closely and, following guidance from public health officials and government agencies, we will continue to evaluate the status of our event.
Your ticket and table reservations will remain in place for the rescheduled date.
Thank you for your understanding.
THE EVENT
2022 La Dolce Vita-Inspired Gala
We are thrilled to announce that after a long hiatus The Vita Children’s Foundation is returning with its signature benefit gala event “A Night for Life” to be held on Friday, June 17, 2022, at Plaza Antique in Montréal.
This year’s gala will be held under the theme La Dolce Vita, not only as a tribute to Federico Fellini’s iconic film, but also as an ode to the “sweetness of life”. And so, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to play an important role in our fight against childhood cancer and to participate in this unique event celebrating one of the great masterpieces of Italian cinema.
All proceeds from the event and financial commitments to our Foundation will directly support the Québec Leukemia Cell Bank as well as the innovative and cutting-edge research that is currently being conducted at the Centre of Excellence for Cellular Therapy of the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont Research Centre in the fields of cellular therapy and regenerative medicine to cure diseases such as recurrent and refractory childhood leukemia.
You will find in the section “Sponsor the Gala” this year’s sponsorship opportunities and, needless to say, we would be pleased to answer any questions on how past sponsorships have directly contributed to better care for our children.
We sincerely hope to see you in June for this special event — any part you could play would be tremendously appreciated — and we thank you in advance for your support.
