Fondation Charles-Bruneau
In 1988, his son Charles died after a lengthy battle against leukemia which developed nine years before. This led to the creation of the Fondation Charles-Bruneau shortly after in which he is the president. The cancer center named in honor of Charles Bruneau opened in 1995 nearby the Sainte-Justine's Children Hospital in Montreal. The center is responsible for the cancer treatment of hundreds of children each year. Each year, numerous events such as the 24 Hours of Tremblant (at Mont-Tremblant) weekend skiing marathon, collects funding for improvement of the cancer center such as research, equipment and construction of new facilities or units. In 2007, the center added a new pavilion with additional beds and laboratories.
