GOAL: SAVE 24 CHILDREN

Visit Grande Collection of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

After the success of the 2023 edition, which celebrated the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the record fundraising for the Association, we're setting ourselves a new challenge: to save 24 children in 2024!

To achieve this, as one of the race's historic associations, we're calling on the public to help finance 24 operations for children with heart disease, in conjunction with the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Numerous fund-raising activities will be organized with partners and the general public: this is the 24H for Kids project!

Because a party is more beautiful when it's shared, you too can help us achieve this goal by making a donation!

24H for Kids with partners

We invited the partners of the 24 Heures du Mans to offer their guests a pin symbolizing a heartbeat in exchange for a donation. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest, MMA, TotalEnergies, RM Sotheby's and many others joined the movement and financed the operations of several children with heart attacks.

Our solidarity stand

We're lucky enough to be present on the circuit, at the heart of the village, with a sales and entertainment stand whose structure and decor are provided by our partners I-Event and Graphi Concepts.

On site, our super team of volunteers is offering the public the chance to make a donation, symbolized by a "Stick'Cœur", to be stuck on a LIGIER JS P3, initially white and fully decked out in hearts by the end of the weekend!

Collector shopping bags for sale in Carrefour stores

Depuis plus de 10 ans, les magasins Carrefour des régions mancelle et centre apportent leur soutien aux enfants cardiaques. En 2023, plus de 50 000 sacs cabas aux couleurs de l’édition anniversaire de la course automobile étaient en vente au prix de 2,60€ dans 20 magasins.

 

Thanks to the mobilization of the teams who relayed the operation to customers, sales of the shopping bags enabled us to save the lives of 8 children with heart attacks. See you in May 2024 to discover the new tote bag collection.

Every year, the official A.C.O. stores online and in the village offer visitors several "solidarity" products. They are co-branded with 24 Heures du Mans and Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque , and part of the profits from sales are donated to the Association.

 

In 2023, a collector's centenary cap bearing the Le Mans 24 Hours logo was specially created to be sold in aid of children with heart problems. Of the €25 sale price, 40% was donated to the Association, enabling 2 children to be operated on!

 

A new cap will be on sale for the 2024 edition.
