Thanks to the address of the players of the France team, the BCF will receive a nice check as part of a partnership between FFBB and MAIF.
“You will thank Céline and the players of the France team for us.” The request, relayed, comes from Jacob Moulin, vice-president of BC Fabrègues, happy recipient of a nice check for 5,000 € which will be welcome to inflate a budget of 50,000 €. In this period when clubs, especially amateurs, need support more than ever, the MAIF and the FFBB have concocted actions around the matches of the French women’s and men’s teams, playing on French soil.
The launch of this MAIF Sport Planète device was planned on the occasion of the double France – Spain female friendly, scheduled for Toulouse and canceled … by converting the points entered into donations in the form of a check given to a local club labeled “FFBB Citoyen MAIF “, in order to promote the development or implementation of eco-responsible projects.
In order not to harm the two selected clubs, BC Fabrègues and BC Millau (Aveyron), a challenge of 30 free throws involved all the French (2 per player) at the end of their session on Thursday.
“The girls were serious in order to achieve the best possible score (the amount of the check differed according to the number of throws registered, Editor’s note). We know how lucky we are to be able to continue playing. These cancellations are a real setback for French basketball, but it was important to play the game, given the strong involvement of MAIF and all the actions it is leading alongside the FFBB “, explains the legendary Céline Dumerc, now general manager of Les Bleues.
This desire to encourage clubs to develop eco-responsible practices, the BC Fabrègues, chaired by Julie Monfort, has grasped its importance. Created in 1995, the club (230 licensees, 15 teams) has a senior male team in Pre-National (6th level), as well as female in departmental – but a collaboration project for the girls sector exists with the club of Saint- Jean-de-Védas.
