“Stars in solidarity” raffle: more than 1.5 million euros collected for caregivers

2020-05-08T20:12:15.372Z


The sale of tickets for the benefit of the Protect Your Caregiver collective ended on Friday. Among the prizes to be won, Jean-Jacq's guitar


Goldman's guitar, Johnny's leather perfecto, a private concert by Alain Chamfort, a day with Guillaume Canet, Matthieu Chedid or Pierre Niney… But also Gim's sunglasses, a cooking class with Thierry Marx or the Zidane jersey. It sounds crazy: but these prizes were to be won for only… 10 euros! The Stars Solidaires raffle organized by three young women with AssoConnect and Protect your carer ended this Friday, May 8 at 6 p.m. Result, 1,548,190 euros were collected for the collective Protect your carer, intended to support all the personnel who fight against the Covid-19. "Either well beyond the target of one million euros," rejoices Natacha Benabou, who initiated the initiative with Marguerite Courtois and Milena Benchetrit.

For three weeks, the team continued to grow. And the lots too, going from fifty to… 190! “We realized that star or not star, everyone is united in the face of this crisis. We were joined by Sandra Sisley, Clément Animalsons, Marina Gauthier, Solveig Rawas, Arnaud de La Taille, Raphaël Aflalo… People we met along the way who work in the fields of music, cinema or sport who helped us with their incredible network! They too worked day and night on the project. "

"Accessible and generous" stars

A human adventure that Natacha Benabou is not going to forget. "I had the idea on April 2 in the morning. At first it was a dream. Now, this is the most incredible thing I have experienced. Even if in confinement, it was not simple, it was necessary to manage everything remotely without seeing each other. "

Yannick Noah, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Gérard Lanvin, Patrick Bruel or Joey Starr contributed to the raffle lots./DR  

The 25-year-old young woman, fan of Orelsan, Goldman, Booba and many others, still can't believe she was able to approach her idols. “I was struck by their investment. Charlotte Gainsbourg often asked me what she could do to help. We realize that they are accessible and generous. It remains only to wait for the name of the lucky winners. Still a little patience, the draw takes place Monday, May 11.
