VOBOC is a Montreal-based charitable organization that supports adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 13–29 who are newly diagnosed with cancer. Working closely with oncology teams at McGill-affiliated hospitals, VOBOC provides immediate support through its signature “Vo-Paks”—backpacks containing comfort items, resources, and practical tools to help patients navigate the first weeks of cancer treatment. The organization also fulfills special wishes for young patients in palliative care, offering meaningful experiences during difficult times. Beyond direct patient support, VOBOC runs awareness and education programs to sensitize healthcare professionals to the unique psychosocial needs of young cancer patients, ensuring their voices are heard throughout their care journey.

Rescue All Dogs is a non-profit, foster-based rescue organization that operates primarily in Montreal and Vancouver. Our funds would go to its Montreal location. Its mission is to save abused, abandoned, and neglected dogs—especially those in high-kill shelters or at risk of euthanasia—and give them a second chance. Dogs rescued by RAD receive full medical care, rehabilitation, and behavioral training when needed. Once ready, they are placed with vetted foster homes until matched with permanent, loving adopters. The organization also runs education and outreach programs promoting responsible pet ownership and humane treatment of animals. Entirely volunteer-run, RAD is fueled by grassroots fundraising and an active community of supporters who are passionate about animal welfare
