The Sixth Theater, Port and Chocolate Evening – $ 9,500 To Fight Osteoporosis! 

On May 3, 2012 the Québec Chapter held its 7th Evening of Port, Chocolate and Theatre at le Théâtre de la Bordée.

This greatly appreciated event raised $ 9,500 to fund education and awareness activities related to osteoporosis. The port and the chocolate were courtesy of the SAQ and Chocolaterie de l’Ile d’Orléans respectively.

The guests of honor for the evening were the mayor of Quebec City, Régis Labeaume, and Québec’s Minister of Health and Social Services, Yves Bolduc.
