Poker, Kilimanjaro and Granting Wishes

Last year, we helped raise funds for the Make-A-Wish foundation with our journey to basecamp Everest, and this year, our wishes take us to Mount Kilimanjaro over a game of Poker.

First, let me take a moment to thank all of you for your encouragement and generosity; thanks to you, we collected $3500 at last year’s fundraiser (Wish Upon Everest: Wishes Come True..).

Montrealing is asking for your support in helping a very dear friend of our team, Line Abrahamian, in her fundraising efforts. Line will be joining a team of 25 climbers and will climb mount Kilimanjaro to raise $250,000 for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

In order to raise funds, Line has organized a Texas Hold’em Poker tournament! On October 23rd, you have the chance of  helping grant the wishes of many little angels over a game of Poker at the Four Aces Casino in Kahnawake. Now wait ’til I tell you what you can win!! First prize is $5000, second prize is a 5 day trip to Las Vegas and the third prize is valued at $2000. Oh, and did I mention that the food and alcohol are included? The game is at 1 p.m., ticket is $125 in advance ($150 at the door), and re-buys are at $60. Places are limited so hurry up and get your tickets.

All proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. See you all there!

Wish Upon Everest: Wishes Come True…

The Montrealing.com team is proudly presenting a fundraising evening to benefit the Make-A-Wish® foundation with the help of Saro Chichmanian.

When I first heard about the group of volunteers who climbed to base camp Everest for Make-A-Wish®, I was speechless. These people had so much courage and had taken on such a big project. I was even more surprised when I realized that I knew one of the volunteers through some common friends. Saro Chichmanian will be presenting pictures from his adventure and sharing his experience with us.

Alongside Saro, Kim Tremblay, a wish coordinator from the Make-A-Wish foundation will be present to tell us about this wonderful team of angels who have made it their mission to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Finally, Chahe Tanachian, director of Armenological studies will also be there to explain the mental and spiritual aspects of pilgrimages (what pushes someone to do it?).

If that wasn’t enough to catch your attention until now, hold on tight! There will be live performances from Roads (yes!! this is another chance to see them live)! 

Last but not least, and thanks to our sponsors, you will have the chance to win many prizes.

All proceeds collected at this event will benefit the Make-A-Wish® foundation. It really is for a great cause and we ask all your encouragement in helping us make this night successful and being part of the granting of wishes…

Tickets are 15$ pre-sale and 20$ at the door. Places are limited so hurry!
