Evening conference with the Dr Richard Béliveau

E vening conference w ith the D r R ichard B éliveau
On June 5 last, more than 450 guests attended the special lecture with the theme of: Combattre et
vaincre les maladies chroniques en modifiant nos habitudes de vie (Fight and conquer chronic disease
by making changes in our lifestyle habits). They thus accepted the invitation extended by the
management of Nautilus Plus in association with the Fonds Richard Béliveau for the UQÀM Research
Chair in Cancer Prevention and Treatment.
“The occasion was a huge success!” declared Karine Larose,
director of communications at Nautilus Plus. “Our employees and
clients, their families and their friends came in hoards to hear a
leading authority in cancer prevention whose expertise is
recognized world-wide: Doctor Richard Béliveau.
Conference attendees could enjoy the many activities that were organized for the evening. Among
them, a welcome cocktail hosted by Sogrape Vinhos, an opportunity to purchase the three books Dr.
Béliveau has written with co-author Denis Gingras, Ph.D., a courstesy of Groupe Librex, a silent
auction of magnificent items donated by many companies, including a painting by the Quebec artist
Clifford Jean-Félix, a Tandem nutrition/training program from Nautilus Plus, tickets to a Montréal
Canadiens match, gift baskets from Lise Watier and L’Oréal, a necklace from Création Sourdine, and
many others.
This lecture evening will enable the Fonds Richard Béliveau to receive a
net donation of $8,000. What is more, the activity fostered awareness
among many attendees of the benefits of physical activity and healthy
eating as the best means of preventing cancer.
Thank you for your support and generous contribution.
