In the presence of Patrick Charlebois, Senior Wealth Advisor
and Portfolio Manager at National Bank and a dedicated runner, the
recipients were commended for their outstanding achievements and for
their commitment to their studies and their sports. The event was a
rare occasion for the student-athletes to gather together and forge a
tight, inspiring community. Year after year, the Fondation Aléo and
National Bank take great pleasure in seeing the bursary recipients
continue to excel, both athletically and academically.
The ceremony was hosted by Charles-Antoine Sinotte, columnist
for Salut Bonjour and former Fondation bursary recipient.
Some of the hundreds of student-athletes who have been supported by
National Bank in recent years have achieved impressive international
success, including two-time world champion in 2019, 2021 and 2023
Mikaël Kingsbury, Olympic athletes Jules Burnotte and
Antoine Cyr, and Emy Legault, bronze medallist at the
most recent Americas Triathlon Championships.
In their own words:
“Over the years, National Bank has been instrumental in helping the
Fondation carry out its mission. Thanks to its unwavering support over
the past 30 years, we have been able to support hundreds of promising
athletes while also building the reputation and credibility of the
Fondation. We are very grateful for their dedication and very proud to
award National Bank the title of “Building Partner.”
- Martin Lavigne, President, Fondation Aléo
“This 31st edition of the program once again reflects National
Bank’s steadfast support and ongoing commitment to athletes from
across the province. Supporting student-athletes from all regions as
they strive to achieve fulfillment and well-being through performance
remains a priority for the Bank.”
- Martine Dessureault, Vice-President – Commercial Banking, Quebec
City and Eastern Quebec, National Bank
New identity, same mission!
The Fondation de l’athlète d’excellence (FAEQ) has adopted a
new name and a new brand image: ALÉO – Elevating Athletes Beyond
Sport. The change aims to further highlight the organization’s
personalized approach, where the overall development and
athletic well-being of its bursary recipients are central to
its activities.
