An event supported by Le Grand-Bornand Tourisme since 2008, Glisse en Coeur combines a 24-hour ski race with support for a children's charity for each new edition of this pioneering "snow marathon". In 13 editions, the French mountain charity event has supported 11 associations, which have shared the sum of 3 392 550 euros.

OBJECTIF EVEREST FIN MARS EVEREST OBJECTIVE END OF MARCH
Officially launched on Monday, November 7 in the salons of the Impérial Palace in Annecy, the 14th edition of Glisse en Coeur will take place on the slopes of Grand-Bornand from March 24 to 26, this year for the benefit of the association À Chacun son Everest, headed by the Chamonix doctor and adventurer Christine Janin. Two objectives have been announced: the first is to bring together 160 teams of skiers, while the second, highly symbolic, aims to collect the sum of €884,800 in donations, in reference to the altitude of Everest. "To those who think it is impossible, I say: so what? The worst thing will be to get there," said Christine Janin, teased by the event's sponsor Stéphane Thébaut. |
"GLISSE EN COEUR", "VENDÉE COEUR", AND "DANSE EN COEUR" UNITED UNDER THE BANNER OF AN "ENDOWMENT FUND FOR CHILDREN"
In view of the success of Glisse en Coeur, Vendée Coeur (which in 4 editions has supported 7 causes and collected 354 512 euros in donations), the birth of Danse en Coeur on October 14 and 15, 2023, and in the perspective of the forthcoming emergence of other events, their actors, strengthened by a proximity maintained since the very beginning, have come together to create an Endowment Fund for Children whose ambition is to anchor solidarity between existing "24h" events and to support the creation of new "24h" events, to support a greater number of organizations and causes by choosing several beneficiaries per event and per year, in view of the sums now collected... within the framework of a collective dynamic that is now carried out on a national level. The purpose of the Endowment Fund for Children is, in the words of its general delegate Isabelle Pochat-Cottilloux, one of the founding members along with Grand-Bornand Tourism and Vendée Coeur, "the protection and support of children marked by a different life course due to difficulties related to their state of health or their social situation, and their families, by contributing in particular to the improvement of their living conditions, to promote their access to care, education, sport, culture, or to contribute to their ecological awakening, as well as to the protection and preservation of the human and natural heritage in all its forms".
Alongside the representatives of Grand-Bornand Tourism, Vendée Coeur and Isabelle Pochat-Cottilloux, all three founding members, a board of directors composed of people who have been involved for many years in the Glisse en Coeur and Vendée Coeur events (sponsors, partners, volunteers...) will oversee the project, supported by a team of volunteers. ) will take care of the project, supported in its mission by a committee of experts associating resource personalities, doubled by a committee of ethics in charge of writing the calls for projects for the "24h" events, examining the candidacies and establishing the choices of the retained causes.
This is a framework of new ambitions, which will be inaugurated by the next edition of Glisse en Coeur, from March 24 to 26, 2023.
Le Grand-Bornand, by giving the opportunity to create this endowment fund, expresses its desire to open up and share an event with values of solidarity with children. Nothing surprising in the land of "Bonheur des Mômes"!
