CARAQUET \u2013 The Fifth Benefit Supper of the Fondation H\u00f4pital de l\u2019Enfant-J\u00e9sus featuring guest artists took place last March 12. The event, organized by Joseph Lanteigne and his team, raised over $20,000, which will go toward the 2016 annual fundraising campaign of the foundation. This year, the objective of the annual campaign is $90,000 to meet various needs of the facility and complete some regional projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great pleasure for me to organize a supper like this one as my reward is seeing that our community is always ready to support our health facility! The success of this supper rests entirely on our community as it\u2019s organized by volunteers and attended by faithful supporters,\u201d said Joseph Lanteigne, organizer of the Fifth Benefit Supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For his part, Normand Mourant, Chairman of the foundation\u2019s Board of Directors, took the opportunity to highlight Joseph Lanteigne\u2019s involvement. \u201cWhen you think of the Fondation H\u00f4pital de l\u2019Enfant-J\u00e9sus, you think of Joseph Lanteigne.
