Glisse en Coeur has collected almost 5.5 million euros in donations for all editions combined!
For 2026, the strong choice of a social cause, for the betterment of society.
This year, the Bornandin event will be run in aid of the Ma Chance Moi Aussi association, founded in 2015 by André Payerne, an entrepreneur in the metal industry who is sensitive to social inequalities. His aim: to help the most vulnerable children to succeed. The first establishment was opened in Chambéry (Savoie). Today, the association has 13 centres across France. The association is committed to providing comprehensive, preventive support for vulnerable children from families with educational difficulties, from the age of 6 right through to the end of secondary school if necessary.
Using a comprehensive, long-term educational model, Ma Chance Moi Aussi works on a daily basis to help children to
- the acquisition of fundamental school skills
- developing interpersonal skills
- cultural, artistic and civic awareness.
It works hand in hand with families, schools and local authorities to reveal children’s potential and pass on the essential values that will enable them to choose their future despite social and educational obstacles.
As in the two previous editions, this main cause will be joined by five sponsored associations, under the aegis of the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance: Loisirs Assis Evasion, Les Pâtes au Beurre, Quiberon Infiniment Solidaire, Williams France and Le petit monde d’Ugo. The aim is to make the adventure more collective each year, with more causes being defended.

Objectives
- Collect donations for causes dedicated to children. Via the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance, donations will go to ” Ma Chance Moi Aussi “, which works to promote equal opportunities and combat social exclusion in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
- Raise the profile of the charity and the cause it supports.
- Give energy and recognition to the association’s leaders, children, families, supervisors and accompanying adults.
- To offer a greatcollective human adventure for family, friends or colleagues. An adventure of solidarity, sport and celebration!
The winners of the Race for Donations will be the teams who collect the most donations in each of the 2 categories “Company” and “Tribe” AND who meet the sporting challenge of 24 hours of non-stop skiing in relay teams.
The challenge for the teams in the race is to ski down the eponymous slope (each winter, the equivalent of almost a round-the-world race is completed in Le Grand-Bornand) without having failed to raise several hundred thousand euros as part of an intensive online fund-raising campaign for children’s causes that are recognised as being in the public interest.
The official anthem!
The fight of the Ma Chance Moi Aussi association, the main cause of this 17th edition, went straight to the heart of one of the most prolific hit-makers on the French music scene, in the person of Gioacchino Maurici. Brother of Calogero, Maurici has written for the likes of Johnny Hallyday, Céline Dion and Florent Pagny, before teaming up with Bruno Guglielmi to create the official Glisse en Coeur anthem. “Isabelle Pochat-Cottilloux, general delegate of the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance, admits that “the educational issues raised by the Ma Chance Moi Aussi association echoed Gioacchino’s childhood, as he himself grew up in a working-class district of Grenoble”.
Glisse en Coeur, Vendée Coeur and Danse en Coeur united under the banner of the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance (Endowment Fund for Children)
The aim of the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance is to create a sense of solidarity between existing 24-hour amateur sports and leisure charity events. A unique framework structure with an ethics committee for Glisse en Coeur as well as Vendée Coeur (Les Sables d’Olonne) and Danse en Coeur (Lyon).
