CORNWALL – The Club Richelieu Cornwall’s annual Pré & Marée fundraising dinner drew a full house on Friday, June 5, 2026 at the Agora Centre, where guests once again demonstrated their generosity and commitment to helping local children.
While everyone enjoyed an exceptional meal featuring lobster and prime rib, much of the evening’s excitement centred around the silent auction. Throughout the lively and spirited event, patrons eagerly circulated among the auction tables, carefully monitoring bid sheets and returning repeatedly to protect their favourite items from friendly rivals.
Friendly competition continued during the live auction, where bidders enthusiastically competed for featured items, namely a pair of tickets to a Montreal Canadiens game, a jersey autographed by Stanley Cup champion Ryan Lomberg and a painting by acclaimed Canadian artist Pierre Giroux. Expertly led by auctioneer Hélène Faubert, the spirited bidding added excitement and suspense to an already memorable evening.
Attendees also enjoyed live entertainment provided by acclaimed singer and pianist Louis Séguin, whose diversified repertoire and musical versatility added a festive touch to the celebration.
The remarkable generosity of attendees, sponsors and donors helped raise significant funds to support programs and initiatives benefiting vulnerable children throughout the region.
Les sommes recueillies grâce à l’extraordinaire générosité des convives, des commanditaires et des donateurs, permettront de soutenir des programmes et initiatives destinés aux enfants vulnérables de la région.
