A LEGACY OF GENEROSITY
Charitable foundation of Centre Notre-Dame-de-Fatima
I give so that children and adults with special needs can experience the ultimate camp experience: adapted services, inclusive activities, personalized support and safe facilities.
ABOUT THE FONDATION
The Paul-Leboeuf Foundation was established over 30 years ago and named in honour of its founder, Abbé Paul Leboeuf, a great benefactor of Centre Notre-Dame-de-Fatima.
The Foundation supports Fatima’s adapted services for children and adults living with a hearing impairment, speech or language disorder, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or multiple disabilities, as well as the ongoing maintenance and quality of the Centre’s infrastructure. It also ensures access to camp for families with limited financial means.

Why Give
THE CENTRE
Since 1948, Centre Notre-Dame-de-Fatima has been a leading organization, offering adapted and inclusive services for children and adults living with a hearing impairment, speech or language disorder, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or multiple disabilities.
Located in the heart of nature in Notre-Dame-de-l’Île-Perrot, the Centre offers specialized summer camps, essential respite programs and inclusive day camps. Every moment is guided by respect, inclusion, sharing and openness.
Campaigns & Events
Every fall, the Mille et une huîtres fundraising evening brings together more than 350 guests and features unlimited oysters, a gourmet meal and many surprises. The event’s success is such that the 2025 edition sold out as soon as presales opened.
This success highlights the appeal of the concept, the atmosphere and, above all, the cause: supporting Centre Notre-Dame-de-Fatima. A must-attend charitable event in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region, this evening is the Foundation’s flagship fundraiser and a vital source of support for campers with special needs and their families.

“Fatima was really the turning point. Overnight, I saw a difference in Danika. She was super excited. She told me about the instructors and the friends she had made.”
Katherine
“When he goes there, you can see that he blossoms. But you are tired, you need to rest. At the same time, you can rest without feeling guilty because your child is happy there.”
