Skating with all our hearts: thank you, everyone!

April 2, 2025 | News

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the companies and partners who contributed to this event by supporting the Villes et Villages team in their fundraising efforts. Over 600,000 euros were raised!

600,316 euros! That is exactly the amount raised at the conclusion of this 16th edition of Glisse en Cœur in Le Grand-Bornand, which, as always, was a resounding success. By supporting the Villes et Villages team, our partners and companies participated in a fundraiser to benefit four organizations: Les Puits du Désert, the Laurette Fugain Association, the Compagnie Après la Pluie, and Woman Safe & Children (with its branch in Haute-Savoie), as well as two sponsored local organizations also working on behalf of young children in Haute-Savoie: Liv – Chacun son sommet and Côme – Notre bonheur inattendu.

Glisse en Cœur 2025: An Exceptional Outcome

This year, children were at the heart of this charity event. The outcome of this moment of sharing and solidarity is exceptional. In fact, this year’s event ranks among the top four largest fundraisers since the initiative began in 2008. A remarkable achievement! “Never has the need to support children facing challenges or living different lives been so urgent. They are our hope and our future. Together, through the magic of community, we will continue to help them thrive, live, and grow,” emphasized Isabelle Pochat-Cottilloux, Executive Director of the Children’s Endowment Fund, who oversaw the event.

Thank you all, and see you next year for the 17th edition of Glisse en Cœur!
