Four thousand thirty-nine players across 29 clubs raised 8,076 € for charity during the Journée mondiale du badminton, according to the Fédération Française de Badminton. The governing body distributed the proceeds equally among three organizations: Premiers de Cordée, Solibad, and the AFM-Téléthon.
Clubs mobilize 4,039 players for charity tournament
The charity drive tied into the global celebration held on Sunday, July 5. To support partner organizations, the Fédération Française de Badminton allocated a two-euro federal participation fee from each registered player toward the collective fund.
Participation reached 4,039 players distributed across 29 affiliated clubs nationwide. That turnout generated a total pool of 8,076 €, built entirely from the structural contributions tied to tournament entry.
Three organizations split the 8,076 € fund
The federation divided the collected funds into three equal shares for distribution. Premiers de Cordée received one-third of the proceeds to support sports initiatives developed alongside French badminton clubs, aimed at introducing athletic activities to hospitalized children.
Another third went to the AFM-Téléthon as part of its ongoing campaign supporting medical research for rare genetic disorders and patient assistance programs. Solibad collected the final portion, funding international projects that use badminton as a tool for education and social inclusion.
Donation ceremony scheduled at Internationaux de France
Official checks will be presented to representatives from Premiers de Cordée, Solibad, and the AFM-Téléthon during the upcoming Internationaux de France tournament in Tremblay-en-France. The event serves as the formal handover point for the funds gathered through the July initiative.
