CELINE SUPPORTS

For many years (since 1982), Celine has been promoting public awareness of cystic fibrosis (CF). This strong commitment was strengthened with a real-life tragedy of her own I when she lost her niece, Karine in her arms to the disease.

As a start, Celine supported the CF cause at the regional level by collaborating with the Quebec Cystic Fibrosis Association (QCFA). With her growing fame and popularity, she helped to pass on the message for support by participating in countless media interviews, fundraising activities, and QCFA public service campaigns. Celine’s commitment was strengthened to the pinnacle in August of 1993 when she accepted the role to be the Foundation’s Celebrity Patron. By accepting this invitation, Celine participated in a Canada-wide public campaign (1994-1997) to deliver a message of hope and urgency for a cure. Later in 1996, Celine helped the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) to secure an important new sponsorship with Royal Airlines.

Celine continues to promote public awareness for the CF cause not only nationally, but internationally as well, and has generously donated to the CCFF with funds collected from many concerts and guest appearances.

In 2006, Celine, along with her husband/manager, René Angélil, supported breast cancer research, education and awareness by sporting specially designed polo t-shirts, of which 100% of the profits were donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.
