\u201cI want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our partners for their great generosity and their participation during this evening.

Thanks to these generous gifts, the Foundation will be able to give back much more and make a difference in the lives of a great many people who are in need,<\/em>\u201d declared Mathieu Duguay, Cogir Real Estate\u2019s chief executive officer.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to support the Cogir Foundation. The testimony that we have heard tonight from some of the organizations being supported clearly reveals how the Foundation\u2019s actions improve the daily lives of young people, of seniors and of new arrivals as well as help the environment,<\/em>\u201d added Guy Choquette, Vice President, Qu\u00e9bec at GESPRA, a firm specialized in supply chain solutions and one of the event\u2019s Diamond Partners.<\/p>\n \u201cCooperation is at the heart of Mouvement Desjardins. Cogir\u2019s focus on the human touch and its proximity to the individual is quite well aligned with our own values. We are very happy to contribute to the Foundation\u2019s success, thereby enhancing the lives of people and communities through its endeavours,<\/em>\u201d said Pierre-Philippe Harvey, senior account manager at Desjardins which is also one of the event\u2019s Diamond Partners.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of KPMG\u2019s values is to do what is needed for the greatest good. With the thoroughness it displays in the allocation of funds, its aggregate decisions and the impact of its action, the Cogir Foundation epitomizes that value. We are proud to be an active contributor in creating a better world by supporting the Foundation,<\/em>\u201d concluded Alexandre Plouffe partner, audit at KPMG Canada, another Diamond Partner.<\/p>\n In addition to the Diamond Partners, the highest partnership level, three companies have also provided their support to the Foundation as Platinum Partners, namely the Altus Group, JG Fruits et l\u00e9gumes and National Excavation.
