Since his teenage years, Eric Benoit has had a growing interest in kids’ well-being. In 2000, he had the desire to create a new way to finance non-profit organizations that help our young Quebecers. Éric decided to become actively involved in this effort by creating and coordinating the event " 1 ¢ at a time! ".
From 2003 to 2005, the project was organized with the participation of merchants from the Plateau Mont-Royal and the Plaza St-Hubert, in the Montreal region. The merchants offered an area near the cash register to expose the container of the event. The customers were then given the chance to deposit their coins in the container (1 ¢, 5 ¢ and 10 ¢). During the first three years of the project, Eric had the great pleasure to give all the donations to Le Bon Dieu dans la Rue, an organization that helps young homeless people.
