THANK YOU!

It is with a special blend of emotion that Casteliers organized its first annual fundraising evening on November 9, as part of its major fundraising campaign for the Maison internationale des arts de la marionnette (MIAM).

Held under the honorary presidency of Sharon Azrieli, soprano, the evening celebrated the MIAM with more than a hundred business and cultural leaders and with a unique combination of puppetry and fine Outremont bistronomy.

Fundraising evening goal: $20,000
Amount raised: $23,000
