May 2009
Stark & Whyte hosted a cupcake decorating workshop for children at the Dix30 retail complex for Mother’s Day 2009. The company provided 650 cupcakes which were used to teach decorating and icing techniques to children.  It was day of fun and learning, culminating in great cupcake gifts for Mom!

The Marie-Eve-Saulnier Foundation is proud of the great success of it's very first dinner benefit. This touching red carpet event was held at the Jacques-Rousseau high school of Longueuil on November 6th, 2008. The gastronomic dinner gathered more than 275 participants which included more than 30 renowned artists gathered by Isabel Richer, godmother of the foundation. The event generated 30,000$ plus a surprise donation of 5,000$ from M. Alain Quintal, the honoured Chairman and President of prestige Buro design. An additional 5,000$ was raised which was the result of many sponsors, in particular Stark & Whyte's greatly appreciated participation in the evening. All of this brings the grand total to an incredible 40,000$. The Marie-Eve Saulnier Foundation sees the result of this event as an opportunity not only to fulfill its first goal, which is helping needy families to cope with a child suffering from cancer, but also to enlarge its capacity of helping even more families.
