March 20, 2024: 2nd edition of our Foundation Day

On the program for this 2nd edition, we invite you to share a moment of inspiration. After an exceptional lecture by Bertrand Piccard, a retrospective of the Foundation’s first 6 years and testimonials from the communities we support, we will launch the “top start” of a great collective challenge, with the aim of reaching 1 billion 🌍 between March 20 and April 20, 2024.

The target reached will enable us to redistribute 1 envelope of €50,000 to 10 associations of your choice! The form to submit your association is available here.
