Museum’s Grand Ball

Thank You for Contributing to the Success of the 2025 Edition

We were truly delighted to welcome you to Théâtre Cartier, a former church lovingly and skillfully restored. 

Anne Eschapasse, President and Chief Executive Officer of the McCord Stewart Museum, along with Jean-Michel Lavoie, Chairman of the Board of the McCord Stewart Museum Foundation, warmly thank you for attending the Museum’s Grand Ball. 

We would like to express our gratitude to our valued partners, whose precious support ensures the success of this event. 

Looking back on the 2025 Grand Ball

Nearly $600,000 was raised during the Grand Ball. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Museum in support of its mission to protect and share our historical, artistic, and cultural heritage — notably through its exhibitions and innovative programs.

Join us for our upcoming events: the Sugar Ball, which will take place on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the Théâtre St-James, and our interactive auction, featuring exclusive items and available online starting this fall. Three of Montreal’s standout leaders served as honorary co-chairs for this year’s Grand Ball:

• Ms Manuela Goya, Vice President, Destination Development, Public Affairs and Industry, Tourisme Montréal
• Ms Vickie Joseph, Cofounder & CEO of V Kosmetik and outgoing President of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal Board of Directors
• Ms Marie Ginette Lepage, Senior Vice President, Transformation, Cogeco
