February 11 marked the last day of the 16th annual Mois des Câlins campaign, during which people across Quebec once again gave from their hearts to support the children and families of Sainte-Justine.

And we have our faithful partners at Rythme, Jean Coutu and Clarins to thank for the opportunity. In the final tally, more than $400,000 was raised for Sainte-Justine and the Marie Enfant Rehabilitation Centre (CRME). Not only did the 30,000 "Rose Câlins" Lip Perfectors by Clarins, sold exclusively in Jean Coutu stores throughout the province, fly off the shelves in record time, but many people also reacted to the touching stories of children in the Sainte-Justine community posted on our social media. As a result, we garnered even more support for our cause.

Thank you to all of you who contributed to the Mois des Câlins campaign and who do their part every day to build a better, brighter and healthier future for the next generation. ♥
