Hamster held their 6th edition of its annual golf tournament on June 20, 2024, at the Blainvillier Golf Club. More than 150 people, partners, suppliers, customers and volunteers participated in the event.
“The objective of the tournament is to offer maximum financial support to two causes that are particularly important to us: the Mira Foundation and La grande journée des petits entrepreneurs,” explained Mr. Denis Mathieu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Novexco.
Thanks to our Hamster dealers and to many of our suppliers such as Newell, Lexmark and Spicers, our main sponsors of the tournament. Hamster is proud to announce that a grand total of $181,000 was raised during the day. These amounts will be divided between the two causes.
Concrete results
“The Hamster team and their generous suppliers and partners believe in our cause and know how much Mira dogs change the lives of their owners. We are incredibly grateful for their involvement,” said Nicolas St-Pierre, Executive Director of the Mira Foundation.
In the case of La grande journée des petits entrepeneurs, the amount raised will directly contribute to providing thousands of young people with a unique experience that will positively influence their lives. The invitation to participate in LGJPE is an invitation to have fun creating an extraordinary tomorrow.
“Hamster, through Novexco, has been supporting us for 2 years now. This is a partnership of great importance for us: they support our goal of encouraging young people to dream big. They believe in our desire to instill in young people the values of entrepreneurship and that we can learn, be inspired and educate ourselves through the creation of a small business,” added Lan Anh Vuong, General Manager of Les petits entrepreneurs.
