To celebrate its 50th anniversary, team Intermarché-Wanty set up a fundraising campaign during the Tour de France to support the Restos du Coeur. On Friday 27th of December 2024, Intermarché-Wanty received Patrick Banneux, Chairman, Zohra Zarouri, Director, and several volunteers from the 59A Association Départementale of the Restos du Coeur to present them the cheque from the hands of Jean-François Bourlart, General Manager of the Intermarché-Wanty team.
The presentation of this cheque for €10 085 to the Association Départementale 59A of the Restos du Coeur concludes a series of actions that have helped to put the Restos du Coeur in the spotlight, and to give many young beneficiaries of Restos du Coeur a glimpse behind the scenes of the Belgian World Team during the rest days of the Tour de France 2024. Thanks to the generosity of over 400 donors, the fundraising target of €10 000 has been reached!
"We are proud to conclude 2024 by presenting this cheque for over €10 000 to Restos du Coeur. As a cycling team, we feel the duty to make a commitment to associations that are meaningful to the community as a whole. And of course, we're already thinking about the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in Lille next July, so we can envisage other solidarity support operations to help the most disadvantaged."
"We are delighted to receive this cheque from team Intermarché-Wanty. It's the first time that a sports team has given financial support to our association, and we're particularly proud of it given the impact of their latest Tour de France. More than ever, we have two priorities: to help single-parent families and to develop early childhood initiatives by creating friendly places where children can find the means to blossom and escape the isolation caused by poverty."
