Our Godmother
Marie-Mai, godmother of Leucan
On February 15, 2019, on the occasion of the International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, Leucan, announced that singer-songwriter Marie-Mai is officially being named Godmother of the Association. With this new title, Marie-Mai is renewing the commitment she made to the cause of cancer-stricken children in 2017, and solidified as part of Leucan’s 40th anniversary.
Marie-Mai’s Leucan Shaved Head Challenge
In March 2020, after more than a year of involvement as a Leucan sponsor, Marie-Mai shaved her head for the 20th anniversary of the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, presented by Proxim. She revealed her new look on the cover of ELLE Québec magazine.
Marie-Mai was the first to step up when Pascale Bouchard, Executive Director of Leucan, challenged influential, daring, assertive, and courageous women leaders to shave their heads along with her as part of the Les Audacieuses project.
Although COVID-19 delayed the launch of the project, Marie-Mai was able to act as sponsor to the ten bold women who shaved in solidarity with cancer-stricken children in March 2021.
