Les Beaux 4h 2026 – A New Record Set with $1,075,000 Raised

Saint-Sauveur, February 8, 2026 — The Martin-Matte Foundation celebrated yesterday the grand finale of the 11th edition of Les Beaux 4h, its flagship event. Once again this year, the public turned out in large numbers: more than 700 participants gathered to ski or walk for the cause, helping raise an impressive record-breaking total of $1,075,000.

From January 7 to February 7, Martin Matte and the Martin-Matte Foundation’s ambassadors invited Quebecers to get outside and get moving in support of people living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a physical disability.

Presented by National Bank in collaboration with Tanguay, Les Beaux 4h of the Martin-Matte Foundation wrapped up in style yesterday on the slopes of Sommet Saint-Sauveur, a loyal and generous host since the very first edition of the event. At the foot of the mountain, the grand finale concluded with a standout performance by Lou-Adriane Cassidy.

The Foundation would like to thank the participants, volunteers, and donors who help ensure the longevity of its mission. Martin Matte, founder and co-spokesperson of the Foundation, expressed his gratitude for this exceptional show of support during this edition:

“Thank you for once again being there for this 11th year. Seeing the Beaux 4h community grow and remain so united is a great source of pride. The $1,075,000 raised today proves that our mission continues to resonate just as strongly. For my brother and for everyone living with a brain injury, your support is an essential driving force. Thank you for being there.”
