I am delighted to invite you to our 14th Annual Texas Hold’em Fundraiser in support of the Montreal Children's Hospital – Nephrology Department. This cause is especially close to my heart: my son Francesco, a healthy and thriving young man, was born with only one kidney.

Over the past fourteen years, your incredible generosity has helped us raise $449,500 to support children in need. This year, proceeds from the fundraiser will help fund a new Spectra Optia Machine at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. The Spectra Optia is a cutting-edge platform that uses continuous-flow centrifugation and optical detection to deliver a range of complex treatments. For nephrology patients, it will play a vital role in helping to prevent kidney transplant rejection and treat glomerulonephritis, a severe inflammation of the kidneys.

With heartfelt thanks,

Pat Franco
