CREATING CHANGE TOGETHER
Budding Philanthropists Shining Bright
Since 2020, these brilliant young leaders have kicked off the annual Sainte-Justine Tree of Lights campaign and added their own special spark to this cherished holiday fundraiser. Your support for their commitment has shown them, and us, that nothing is impossible. Together, we have made some 600,000 lights on the Tree shine over the years and raised close to $3 million. Many a heart has been warmed by this unprecedented show of generosity.
The impact of your commitment on the lives of the young patients of Sainte-Justine has been immeasurable. And now we want to reach out to even more schools to build further on this momentum. In November, your support will make the Sainte-Justine Tree of Lights light up the night sky, bringing comfort and joy to the families who will be spending the holidays in the hospital.
We can make the Sainte-Justine Youth Tree of Lights campaign, now in its fifth year, grow beyond anything we ever imagined. Help us light up 800,000 twinkling beacons of hope on the Tree and show people across the province what young people can accomplish when they work together to create change.
When: November 1–30, 2024

The Youth Tree of Lights campaign is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a way of instilling a spirit of giving back in a whole generation of students, many of whom have needed the services of Sainte-Justine themselves. We all know someone who has gone through those doors at one point or another. It’s important to work together and support such a vital cause. The health of our children and mothers-to-be, wherever they are in the province, depends on it.

Kicking Off the Youth Tree of Lights Campaign at Sainte-Justine: A Unique Opportunity for Your Students to See Their Generosity in Action
Last year, as the fourth annual Youth Tree of Lights Campaign got underway, participating schools had the opportunity to take part in a rousing kickoff event, headlined by several people who have witnessed the benefits of these efforts first-hand. Among them were the campaign ambassadors and their families, neurosurgeon Alexander Weil, and nurse and medical student Marie St-Cyr. The private school students who attended the event left inspired and feeling like they were part of something bigger. Enjoy this look back at some of the highlights from that day.
Through the Sainte-Justine Youth Tree of Lights, Quebec’s family of private schools can reaffirm our support for Sainte-Justine and highlight the values we hold dear — determination, creativity and excellence.
