The populations of Estrie and Centre-du-Québec were generous this year. In the two regions, a total of $326,451.21 was raised for La guignolée des medias.

This data concerns the street collection, which took place on December 5, as well as donations made online. Donations collected by text message and at participating businesses must still be counted.

At the provincial level, La guignolée des medias broke a record for a third year in a row. Some $5.1 million was raised. Quebecers therefore always show great generosity and remarkable solidarity, we can read in a press release from La guignolée des medias. In an unstable economic context, such results are heartwarming.

It is still possible to make donations until December 31 at 11:59 p.m., notably on the La guignolée des medias web page.
