On the last weekend of August, the iA Financial Group team participated in the Ride to Conquer Cancer for the 15th year running!
Our fourteen cyclists raised $30,000. In all, over 108 teams, i.e., 450 cyclists and 500 walkers, took part in the 2023 edition. Thanks to the combined efforts of all participants, over $1.6 million was raised, a considerable sum which will be directly invested in the research and development of new cancer treatments.
iA Financial Group financially supported each member of the team by making a donation under its donation policy for employees who get involved in their community.
Thank you to all our colleagues who personally contributed to the cause and congratulations to our fourteen athletes with hearts of gold:
Dominique Martel, captain
Pierre Beaudry, co-captain
