Event: SBA’s 10th Birthday!
A Word from SERGE BETSEN
10 YEARS OF EXISTENCE
Since the creation of my association, 10 years have passed. Looking behind me, what human adventure! The tears have marked these years, but the tears that have expressed so many emotions: joy, disappointment, surprise, the smile of a child. I feel like it was yesterday. Today, SERGE BETSEN ACADEMY has not changed, it keeps the same philosophy, the one that made me a man in society, and a father. As a resume, it embodies my vision of rugby values: sharing, solidarity, selflessness …
Now, for this symbolic year of anniversary, we want to establish our model for our activities in Cameroon reach financial independence.
FESTIVE, SPORT … BUT ALWAYS FOR THE CHILDREN !
We really wanted to mark the occasion of 10 years with a great event in the Basque Country. It is now a reality with a symbolic moment in the region: Wednesday, July 23rd, the opening day of “Fêtes de Bayonne” at Bélascain Stadium, in the heart of downtown.
I can count on the presence of some former teammates and opponents, French or foreigners, from Biarritz, Bayonne and elsewhere but also some guests from other sports. All together for the children of SERGE BETSEN ACADEMY, all proceeds from the transaction will be donated to the association.
Please accept, Madam, Sir, the assurances of my gratitude for the support that you bring to this initiative.
One birthday, 2 EVENTS !

Partnership: Val Thorens, our new sponsor
Serge Betsen Academy signed a partenrship with Val Thorens.
During the 6 Stations tournament which took place for the first time last year, Serge Betsen met with the ski resort of Val Thorens. It is the highest ski resort in Europe (2 300 m high) and the peak of the largest skiing area, les 3 Vallées (600 Km of connected ski runs).
Serge Betsen Academy and Val Thorens are now partners, on the basis of their common values of sharing, sport, health and education. Various actions will be set up this winter, such as a solidarity-based shop through the new Val Thorens e-boutique (clothes collection and Freegun/Val Thorens accessories). For each sale, 1€ is donated to the charity. The Val Thorens United/ Freegun collection is available on www.valthorens.com and on some of the station’spartners (a list is available at the Tourism Office).
This support will enable the charity to finance an important part of its projects in Cameroon for 2014, which marks the 10th anniversary of Serge Betsen Academy.
The chairman’s message
“I’m delighted to have signed this partnership with Val Thorens. On the one hand, it highlights the work that has been done in Cameroon for 9 years, and on the other hand it promotes a great ski resort. which will provide essential funds to develop the charity’s activities. That is why I want to deeply thank Val Thorens for its generosity, as well as well as our volunteers in Cameroon, France, the UK and the USA for their daily work with the sole aim to help children to build a better future in a difficult environment”.
