Crafted for Courage, a Nota Bene Foundation initiative, weaves hope and resilience into every stitch, raising awareness about violence against women through a powerful public art installation. Phil developed the name for the event along with the brand and website.
In May of 2025, Crafted for Courage transformed the lobby of Place Ville Marie into a tapestry of hope. 334 blankets, made from over 5,000 donated squares, were displayed as symbols of resilience and solidarity with survivors of violence against women. Over 300 visitors attended, andthe event raised over $70,000 to support four local shelters: Auberge Shalom pour femmes, Chez Doris, Fondation Chaînon, and The Native Women’s Shelter of Montréal, helping to build a future rooted in care and community.
