For the last match of the year at home, and its victory against Cognac, the Beauvais rugby club organized a toy collection at the Pierre-Brisson stadium. The proceeds from this collection were donated to Restos du Coeur Wednesday evening, December 11, just before training.
Stéphane Chaimovitch, the manager of the Beauvais distribution center, came to collect the toys and was delighted by this donation. “This is a great first toy collection.», he confirms. “It’s our first but we’ll do it again», Promises Vincent Kourgansky, who takes care of BRC events. Silvere Tian, the coach, was also happy with this initiative. He would now like to go further and involve the players in a Restos du Cœur action.
A great need for volunteers
A goal that Stéphane Chaimovitch welcomes. Because the association is seriously lacking in volunteers according to him. “We would need around forty volunteers for each distribution and here we are 25», reveals the Beauvais manager. This is also due to a sudden increase in the number of beneficiaries. Stéphane Chaimovitch counts 1,312 families of beneficiaries in the campaign from April to October 2024. Against 904 families the previous year. This represents 211,000 meals distributed during the 2024 summer campaign in Beauvais.
The gifts collected by the Beauvais rugby club will be distributed to children on December 18. On the occasion of Christmas at Restaurants, a little over 700 children will receive a gift. Contact details for Restos du coeur in Beauvais are available on this page.
