A Powerful Drive for Inclusion: Over $400,000 Raised by the Miriam Foundation’s 2026 Golf Tournament

August 11, 2026 —

The Miriam Foundation is proud to announce that its 2026 annual golf tournament, held on August 10 at Golf Saint-Raphaël, raised over $400,000 in support of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID), as well as their families and the professionals who support them.

This inspiring result reflects the extraordinary generosity of the Miriam Foundation community and the unwavering belief that every person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and thrive. Funds raised through the tournament will help make critical clinical, educational, and recreational programs more accessible, supporting the diverse needs of our neurodivergent population, at every stage of life.

“This remarkable success is a powerful reminder of what is possible when a community comes together with purpose,” said Warren Greenstone, President and CEO of the Miriam Foundation. “Over $400,000 raised means more children can access early intervention, more teens can discover their strengths, more adults can build independence, and more families can find the guidance and support they need. We are deeply grateful to every golfer, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and partner who helped make this day such an outstanding success.”

The Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to Honourary Chairman Nick Loffreda, Event Chairman Daniel Ahmarani, and committee members Nadia Champagne, Dino Farrese, Danny Lazar, Alex Meti, Dominic Meti, Nick Meti, and Peter Snyder for their tremendous dedication, leadership, and commitment to advancing Miriam’s mission.

The Miriam Foundation also offers its sincere gratitude to the Mirella and Lino Saputo Foundation for its valued partnership and steadfast belief in Miriam’s mission. Special thanks are also extended to major sponsors Baker Tilly Montreal, Cultures Gen V, Fetter Financial Corporation, Fiera Capital, and Olymbec, whose generosity helped make the tournament a resounding success.

The Foundation is equally grateful to its loyal supporters such as ARC Group Benefits, Emballages Mercato, Bellemont Powell, S&S Forwarding, MSP Corp, Boscus, Brandt, Franki & Peter Yanofsky, De Grandpré Chait, and the Coutu-Paquin family, whose continued support helps sustain programs that open doors, build confidence, and create meaningful opportunities for inclusion.

As one of Canada’s longest-running charitable golf events, the Miriam Foundation’s annual tournament remains a cornerstone of the organization’s fundraising efforts. Year after year, it brings together business leaders, philanthropists, families, and friends united by a shared vision: a more inclusive society where individuals with ASD and ID can reach their full potential and participate fully in community life.
