Dear Florimont Parents,

We were delighted to be part of the Saint François de Sales day at Florimont back in January, and were very happy to meet with the students. The interaction with the students was very energising and full of joy!

This year, La Virgule is taking part in the 10th edition of the RACE FOR GIFT, a sports and solidarity race in Geneva which will take place on May 25th. Our goal is to fund our future shelter, which will be inaugurated in 2025.

Why run with us?

• For La Virgule: Your commitment will help provide overnight shelter and hot meals to people in need.
• For Lancy: You will be an example of committed young people who care about the well-being of their community.
• For you: A unique opportunity to experience solidarity and sport while supporting an important local cause.

How does it work?

• Form a team: Get your friends, family and classmates involved and create your own RACE FOR GIFT run or walk team.
• Raise funds: Every CHF 300 raised provides 30 meals or two nights’ accommodation.

Register now: Registration opens on 1 February 2025 on the RACE FOR GIFT website

or by contacting Cristina Picco-Rivera, Director of Association La Virgule (+41 79 666 11 97; cristina.picco-rivera@lavirgule.ch).

We’re counting on you to help make this 10th edition of RACE FOR GIFT a success and enable La Virgule’s new emergency shelter to open its doors in 2025!

We look forward to seeing you at the starting line on 25 May 2025, Quai du Mont-Blanc in Geneva!

The La Virgule team
