The Paquette Girls

A Sweet Story 🧁

❓❓❓Question: How many cupcakes need to be baked, decorated, boxed, and delivered to raise $8,222.00?

Best guess – A LOT!

In 2024, Isabelle and Katie Paquette raised an impressive $7,652.00 through their cupcake fundraiser. This year, keeping it a true family affair, their younger sister, Charlotte, joined in to help take the initiative even further.

In recognition of their incredible efforts, CTC President, David Michaud, presented the three sisters with the Board of Director’s President’s Award – an honor given annually to a non-clergy participant who raises the highest amount in the Children’s Treatment Centre Bike-A-Thon.

During the presentation, David shared these words: “In closing, I want to say the time, effort, commitment, and passion shown by you three young ladies is an inspiration to us all. You are indeed role models for other youths to follow.”

No truer words were ever spoken.

As we wrap up the final day of the 2025 Bike-A-Thon, we take a moment – filled with pride and nostalgia – to reflect on the beginning of this event which has become a cornerstone of support for the Children’s Treatment Centre over the past 27 years.

Many will remember it was the local Children’s Aid Society (CAS) that first launched the Bike-A-Thon in the mid 70’s as an initiative to raise funds to build an extension to the building of the CAS. In 1998, the CAS passed the torch to the Children’s Treatment Centre, ensuring the tradition of helping children in need.

Now marking 50 years in the communities of S D & G, the Bike-A-Thon has long been a symbol of local generosity and commitment to helping children in need.

The picture of the ceremonial handover of the event features Jeanette Scrimshaw who was President of the CAS at that time; Richard Abell, then CAS Executive Director and Jake Lamoureux who served as Chair of Fundraising for the Children’s Treatment Centre in 1998.

THANK YOU to everyone who continues to make this event and its legacy possible.
