Dealers support Charity Preview Gala event in Montreal
January 22, 2024
Car dealers across Canada continue to prove that they go the extra mile to support their communities.
CADA leaders attended another successful Charity Preview Gala event to kick off the Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) last week in Montreal.
“Every year the Quebec auto industry, and especially our dealers, step up to donate to this event, and it makes a real difference in the lives of so many Quebecers,” said Denis Dessureault, Executive Vice-President of the Montreal Automobile Dealers Association (CCAM) who run the gala and the show. “Since we launched it in 2005, the event has raised more than $10 million dollars for Montreal area hospital foundations.” This year’s event alone raised an additional $572,800.
