Disaster-struck valleys
The Gym is mobilized through 2 exceptional campaigns
Last October, storm Alex ravaged the territory behind Nice. After the emergency situation, it's now time for reconstruction. The campaign has started and will continue through December, as OGC Nice is engaged to help the valleys. Two solidarity actions are planned: the first is a special "Date" tombola, and the second is a live auction during Nice-Rennes. All of the profits raised will go to help families who were victims of the storm.
Solidarity Tombola: 24 "Dante" shirts to be won
On November 1 Dante seriously hurt his knee, during the match against SCO Angers. In homage to their captain, the Nice players decided that for the following match (at Slavia Prague in the Europa League) that they would wear shirts bearing the name "Dante" during the warm-up.
OGC Nice want to give that strong and symbolic gesture even greater residence. Until December 6, the 24 'Dante" shirts worn by the players and signed by the captain are there to be won in a solidarity tombola. To take part in it, click here.
A live on-line auction during Nice-Rennes
During the match Nice-Rennes (Sunday December 13 at 13:00 CET) shown live on Téléfoot, shirts of the players from the two teams are available to be claimed, with the principle of an auction.
The auction will open at kick-off. The profits from the two campaigns will go entirely to the Partagence charity. Specialised in helping victims of natural disasters, Partagence will give concrete help in order to rehabilitate damaged homes.
For our valleys, we count on you!
Special shirt printing for the occasion
For the match on December 13, the Nice shirts will bear the special mention "SOLIDARITE VALLEES 06" on the front, giving the shirts a "collectors" element as well as giving visibility to the campaign. The shirt printing has also been added to the 24 Dante shirts worn during the warm-up in Prague.
"We have it in our hearts to contribute to the reconstruction of our valleys, so badly impacted by the storm," explains Virginie Rossetti, Director of Communications and the Brand at OGC Nice. "Through our campaigns, we hope to give new élan to the solidarity and raise funds for the inhabitants of the valleys behind Nice. We chose to give the entirety of the profits to the charity Partagence, who share with the club the desire to bring concrete and immediate aid."
The Partagence charity
Founded in April 2014, Partagence is a charity of general interest, specialised in post-emergency situations. The charity intervenes following natural disasters (floods, storms, earthquakes, fires…).
Under the command of the president and founder Claude Frégeac, Paratagence offers solutions to victims of disasters with aid in rehabilitating damaged homes, advice when it comes to insurance and the setting up of professional psychological support.
"The charity has engaged that the funds raised will immediately be transformed into practical help for the disaster victims. That's what led us to associating with Partagence for this operation," added Virginie Rossetti.

Stade Rennais play the game again
"As soon as we contacted them, the Stade Rennais directors immediately joined in by offering us their match shirts for this operation and accepted to personalise them," underlined Virginie Rossetti. "It's a great gesture from the Breton club, who already worked with the Gym during the auction to help victims of the terrorist attack of July 14 2016. We thank them from the bottom of our heart."
