The Élan Foundation Golf Classic, presented on September 14th on the fairways of the Cap-Rouge Golf Club, raised a record sum of $80,000, which represents a tangible contribution to the services offered by the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale – Institute of Physical Impairment Rehabilitation of Quebec (IRDPQ), where 11,000 users receive services annually. The activity will also fund the purchase of an electrical muscle stimulation device for children suffering from spinal cord injury or brain damage. The equipment is also used on children who have limb limitations that make it difficult for them to participate in simple activities of daily living.
