BrainBox AI at 24h Tremblant 2024: Purpose, perseverance & pineapples

This past weekend, the BrainBox AI team came together to take part in the 24h Tremblant, an incredible event that pushes physical limits while raising funds for children in need.

With over CAD 7 million raised collectively during this 24th edition, the event highlighted the power of solidarity, perseverance, and generosity.

For BrainBox AI, this year was nothing short of spectacular with our two dedicated teams showcasing their athletic prowess and unwavering commitment to the event's cause:

• Our Hybrid Team reclaimed their first-place title among 121 teams, finishing with an astonishing 24-lap lead over the second-place team, Air Transat. After two years of podium finishes just shy of first, this victory was especially sweet. Battling through -20°C temperatures overnight, the team delivered lap after lap with unmatched determination.
• Our Ski Team achieved their best performance in our history, finishing in the top 25 out of 233 high-caliber teams—a testament to their teamwork, and resilience on the slopes.

Together, we raised over CAD 20,000 for the well-being of children, a contribution we’re incredibly proud of. 

As we skied and ran through freezing nights and sunny peaks, we were driven by one mission: to help give children in need a better future. Hearing the stories of the lives touched by these donations made every lap, every icy challenge, and every sleepless moment worth it.

The 24h Tremblant spirit reminds us of what we can achieve together—both on and off the track. Thank you to everyone who supported our teams, cheered us on, and contributed to this incredible cause. You are the reason BrainBox AI continues to make an impact, one step at a time.

"The impact of this fundraising is huge for so many sick kids. Talking with some of them during the weekend and hearing their stories made us forget all the rain and pain. Their strength is truly inspiring." - BrainBox AI CTO, Jean-Simon Venne.
