On Saturday, the Montreal Canadiens announced that forward Jonathan Drouin will be the 2020-21 recipient of the Jean Beliveau Trophy.
The Jean Beliveau Trophy is awarded annually to a Canadiens player for their involvement in the community. The winner receives a $25,000 donation to the charity of their choice.
In 2017, Drouin pledged $500,000 over a 10-year period through a donation of $50,000 every year to the Fondation du Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM). Prior to every season, Drouin also holds a golf tournament with the proceeds going to CHUM and its research center.
Also since 2017, Drouin has sponsored a private suite at the Bell Centre and invited underprivileged kids from all over Quebec to games throughout the season.
Congratulations to Drouin on this well deserved honour.
Congratulations to Jonathan Drouin, winner of the Jean Béliveau Trophy for the 2020-21 season. 👏#GoHabsGo | @CHCFondation https://t.co/PJpIYUJ0lY— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) October 2, 2021
