Chris Nilan Golf Classic - Liam Foundation

Context: a tournament led by a Canadiens legend

A former Montreal Canadiens tough guy and 1986 Stanley Cup champion, Chris Nilan hosts a charity golf tournament every summer in support of the Liam Foundation. At Summerlea Golf Club in Vaudreuil-Dorion, the day brought together current and former Canadiens players, including Arber Xhekaj, Florian Xhekaj, Patrice Brisebois and Guy Carbonneau, alongside many other hockey figures and personalities. On the programme: 18 holes, a cocktail, a dinner and an auction.

The Liam Foundation: a fight against mitochondrial disease

The Liam Foundation was created in 2019 by Kevin Reason, whose son Liam has a rare mitochondrial disease for which there is no cure. The foundation funds a treatment trial at the Montreal Children's Hospital, which welcomes families from around the world. In its 3rd edition, the tournament raised a record $255,000. The evening had to match that generosity: warm, well-paced and grateful to every partner.

A three-screen LED media wall at the heart of the stage

Pixanova assembled 3 LED screens side by side (1 m x 2 m each, 1.86 mm pitch, over 1,000 nits) to form a continuous media wall about 3 m wide by 2 m high, installed on stage. The wall carried sponsor visibility, the foundation's visuals and the atmosphere content that accompanied each moment of the evening.

Integration and design: a set that carries the show

Placed behind the host, the LED wall became the focal point of the room. It gave weight to every speech, dressed the stage during dinner and supported the high points of the auction, without ever stealing the spotlight from the cause.

Impact: all eyes on the stage

• Sponsors thanked visibly and elegantly throughout the evening
• A room with more energy, and a set that evolved with the programme
• Visual support for the host during speeches and the auction
• Content adjusted live as the event unfolded

Conclusion: LED screens, an ally for benefit evenings

The Chris Nilan Golf Classic shows that a well-integrated LED wall does far more than dress a stage. It showcases partners, holds the attention of the whole room and amplifies the emotion of a cause, from the first speech to the final bid.
