Devmont, a leading Montreal-based real estate development company, held a successful second edition of its charity event in collaboration with CDN-NDG-based Multicaf. The art auction, held at the Hilton Garden Inn on May 27, “exceeded all expectations by raising over $650,000 to support Multicaf’s noble cause.”
Multicaf, the organization which provides assistance and support to individuals and families facing food insecurity in Montreal, “received a tremendous boost from the generosity of Devmont and the attendees of the art auction.”
Devmont officials added that the event, hosted by Natasha Gargiulo, “showcased a diverse collection of paintings generously donated by renowned artists : Carmelo Blandino, Kevin Ledo, Melissa Del Pinto and Kristen McCrea. Attendees had the opportunity to bid on the artworks, with all proceeds going directly to Multicaf’s initiatives. Finally, the night closed with an opportunity to share a good laugh by attending a Sugar Sammy show.”
“We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Multicaf for this incredible event,” said Sam Scalia, President at Devmont. “The outpouring of support from the community and the success of the auction truly exemplify the power of this community and motivates us to keep going.”
The funds raised “will enable Multicaf to provide vital assistance to those in need within the Montreal community. From food distribution programs to educational workshops, Multicaf’s initiatives play a crucial role in addressing food insecurity and promoting social inclusion.”
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Devmont, the participating artists, Kevin, Carmelo, Melissa and Kristen, and everyone who contributed to the success of this event,” said Jean-Sébastien Patrice, General Manager at Multicaf. “The funds raised will allow us to continue our mission of supporting individuals and families in building a brighter future.”
Devmont and Multicaf thanked its partners for this event, including the Fondation famille Michel Fournelle and the National Bank. n
