Techaide is organizing a soccer tournament January, 26th, 2019 for the benefit of Centraide of Greater Montreal. The Tech Community is getting people together for some festive indoor exercise. Fans of amateur soccer are welcome to take part in this friendly competition

For a great cause

In addition to spending a great afternoon with some of the most dynamic players in Montreal’s tech, startup, and venture capital community, everyone who attends the event will be contributing to a great cause. All proceeds from the tournament will go to Centraide of Greater Montreal to support their fight against poverty and social exclusion.
