An unforgettable bavarian evening for the BMP Foundation
Cowansville, October 21, 2024 – The team at the Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital Foundation enjoyed a wonderful evening surrounded by numerous donors and partners during its Oktoberfest BMP held last Saturday. Thanks to the participation of 200 guests and the generosity of our sponsors, we are thrilled to announce a profit of $30,000. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone! A special thank you to Desjardins, our event presenter, for their unwavering support of the BMP Foundation for over 30 years!
A big thank you to all our sponsors: Excavation STR and St-Pierre et Tremblay, the city of Bromont, Mont Sutton, Bromont, montagne d’expérience, Exxel Polymers Inc., BTM Surfaces, and Gestion Assante for the evening biscuits. We also appreciate our media partners: M105, CiDi, Brome County News, and Le Guide Journal.
The Oktoberfest BMP took place under the permanent tent at Domaine de l’Artisan, where The Wanderers created an authentic musical atmosphere for the participants. We extend our heartfelt thanks to them, as well as to Marcel Picard, owner of Saucisson Vaudois, for preparing the delicious sauerkraut, sausages, and incredible ham. The meal concluded with a delightful apple cake and coffee generously provided by Brûlerie Virgin Hills.
We thank the three microbreweries present: Brouemont (Bromont), Knowlton Co. (Knowlton), and L’Autre Brasserie (Bedford). We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Emilie Bouffard and her team at Familiprix Cowansville for their wonderful setup for the photo contest!

Arthroscopy tower
The funds raised during the 2024 events will be invested in acquiring a second arthroscopy tower for the operating room. This equipment, costing over $200,000, will allow orthopedic surgeons to work simultaneously in two rooms, thereby increasing the capacity for orthopedic procedures at BMP Hospital.
