Thank you! Charity Dinner SBA

/in , /by

This past October 8th the Serge Betsen Academy threw its first charity dinner in London. Over 300 people came to the Grange St Paul Hotel to support both the Indian Ocean Disaster Relief and Serge Betsen Academy.
To support this great event several athletes were in attendance. From the rugby world Aubin Hueber, Yann Delaigue, Lionel Faure, Lee Mears, Simon Shaw and Iain Balshaw. Along with these rugby men were William Gallas, Guy Demel and Darcel Yandzi.
This event was a great success for the Serge Betsen Academy! We are very proud to announce that through the generosity of our guests we were able to raise £50,330.
The main project that this money will go to is the relocation of our centre L’Eau Claire in Bangangté, which helps over 120 children. With the donation we now have the means to find a perfect solution for this centre and it will hopefully allow more children in the area to join us.
Another project the dinner helped is our “Snack a Day” that our CEO, Odile Prévot, presented. In envelopes collected throughout the evening we raised £1,902 which will provide one snack per day per child for the next year for 190 children.
We hope that all that were present spent an excellent evening with us and that the following photos and videos will entice the rest of you to join us for our next event!
Thank you to all of you our supporters, partners and sponsors!

Event : Tournament of the 6 Stations in the Alps

/in , /by

 

In February, the Tournament of the 6 Stations was held.  This is the 2nd consecutive year since its creation that this event has supported the Serge Betsen Academy.  We were on site and thanks to our booth being present at the very heart of the action at all the ‘stations’, many leisure travellers, skiers, and professionals stopped by. Thanks to them, the Serge Betsen Academy collected over 1,700 euros in donations, which will help the children in our centres and to fund our on-going projects.

 

On behalf of the Serge Betsen Academy team and the children we would like to thank these generous donors for their interest in our projects, their smiles, and pleasant shared moments which allowed us to bear the cold.

Event : Charity game at Les Sables d’Olonne

/in , /by

At the initiative of the Lions Club, the Zonta Club, Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club and the Rugby Club from Les Sables d’Olonne a gala game was organized on May 9th to benefit the Serge Betsen Academy and the “Chœurs pour grandir”.

The Rudeliere Stadium was full on this day for sick and disadvantaged children.
Following the female match, the Vendéenne team went up against the France Classic, composed of former players from the Equipe de France. The kick-off was done by 6 year old Maxime who suffers from Sylver-Russel Syndrome. He was aided by Serge Betsen who whispered some encouraging words. That night Maxime, who has been in treatment for only 3 months, declared to his parents, “Now I am big and can give myself the shot!” The final score was 17 to 25 for the French Classics and 2900€ was raised for the SBA and this little boy filled with courage.
Thank you to the organizers and all the participants! Especially bravo to Maxime!!!
