Dîner Olo

Fondation Olo is pleased to announce that the 21^st edition of Dîner Olo will be held on October 25, 2024 at Bonsecours Market. What a joy it will be to find each other once again in support of Fondation Olo and its important mission, which is to give families an equal chance of bringing a healthy baby into the world and introducing them to healthy eating habits early on. Our annual benefit event is the perfect occasion to gather with the members of our extended family around a gastronomic meal, all to benefit the health and well-being of babies. Year after year, we are honoured to be able to count on the generosity of our guests for whom the health of Quebec families is of great importance.

Unable to attend on October 25? You can still connect to our cause! A $600 donation covers Olo follow-up care throughout a baby’s first 1,000 days. An impactful contribution that will last a lifetime!

Connection

This year, connections are in the spotlight! Just like the neural connections established by babies during their first 1,000 days are essential during this crucial period of their development, the connections you build with Fondation Olo’s partners, allies and friends during Dîner Olo are essential in the realization of our mission.

Last year, Dîner Olo raised $320,000 in net profit. Consult our press release to learn more (in French) and browse our photo album.

Why you should come to Dîner Olo and donate to our cause

Since 1991, we have helped more than 250,000 babies, who have been born in better health thanks to the support of our partners;
The Olo approach has demonstrated its effectiveness through the many positive impacts observed throughout a child’s lifetime: on their global health, optimal development, eating habits and academic success;
Because Fondation Olo is constantly evolving and innovating to continue to meet families’ needs throughout the entire first 1,000 days period. The recent unveiling of a first round of postnatal foods offered during Olo follow-up care is a prime example.
