Our purpose is to encourage them to adopt a balanced lifestyle that will help them achieve their educational and sports goals and in turn motivate them to continue their academic studies.
With more than $ 20,000 awarded each year in scholarships to student-athletes, the Fondation Bruny Surin wants to make a difference in the path of young people and help them balance their sports and studies.
Les Premières Foulées Bruny Surin are a set of indoor activities for children aged 6 to 13, organized during the winter season, from November to March.

A record-high for FBS!
