Because this solidarity which is close to their heart is specific to the genesis of Impulsion 75. For more than ten years, the association has been supporting, through various training courses, young and successful sportsmen and women who have not built a real professional project , or who sometimes experience difficulties in their school career. "Encouraging athletes was coherent for us: starting from the environment that we rub shoulders with on a daily basis to create a more global mobilization", sums up Amirouche Aït-Djoudi.
All of the funds collected are directly donated to the Fondation de France, to help the healthcare system players mobilized in the fight against the spread of Covid-19. Objective: to be able to provide health personnel with protective and logistical equipment necessary to deal with the situation. "We want to help both caregivers and their families," adds Amirouche Aït-Djoudi, because everyone is affected by this situation. "
