RBC Race for the Kids in Support of the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation Returns October 4, 2025

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On October 4, thousands of families, colleagues and friends will gather at Parc Jean-Drapeau for the 6th edition of RBC Race for the Kids in support of the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation.

Open to everyone, the Race is a vital moment of solidarity to advance research and support children across Quebec. The CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation and RBC aim to raise $700,000 by mobilizing as many participants as possible to register and fundraise. Registration is free, and each participant is encouraged to raise donations to directly support the children and families cared for at Sainte-Justine.

This year, the spotlight will be on Félix, a young survivor of a severe traumatic brain injury. Thanks to donations to the Foundation, he was able to receive highly specialized care at Sainte-Justine and begin his rehabilitation. His journey is living proof of the impact philanthropy can have.

RBC Race for the Kids is a global movement held in several countries. In Montreal, the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation has been the local beneficiary for the past six years, thanks to a strong and lasting partnership with RBC. Together, the Foundation and RBC are rallying the community to give every child in Quebec the chance to cross their own finish line.

“For six years now, the RBC Race for the Kids has reminded us of the strength of community. More than just a family-friendly event, it allows runners to take meaningful action: every dollar raised is a lever to advance research and innovation at Sainte-Justine.” - Delphine Brodeur, President and CEO of the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation.
