Because the needs remain significant to provide hospitalized children and adolescents with the best conditions for recovery, the Pièces Jaunes operation, organized by the Foundation of the Hospitals of Paris and chaired by Mrs. Bernadette Chirac, continues its goals and calls for everyone’s solidarity.
The different events organized in January and February in Nice to support this solidarity operation will be announced on this occasion.
In the towns of Nice Côte d’Azur, nearly 10,000 coin boxes eager for small change will be distributed: in local businesses (bakeries, pharmacies, post offices…), in administrations, in schools (at a rate of one coin box per class).
How to participate in the Pièces Jaunes operation in Nice?
To participate, simply fill the coin boxes provided to individuals in community centers, town halls, shops, or schools to collect donations.
Then, just bring your coin box to Place Masséna on Saturday, February 5, 2011, starting at 2 PM where a weighing of the coins will be done by the Bank of France. A certificate will be given to each generous donor.
What are the Pièces Jaunes used for?
The collection of small change is used to improve the lives of hospitalized children and adolescents, responding to the needs and expectations expressed by the medical teams who are closest to young patients. Fighting pain, promoting family reunions, improving hospitality and comfort, developing activities, creating dedicated and adapted structures for teenagers in distress are all areas covered by the Foundation of the Hospitals of Paris.
Since its creation in 1990, the Pièces Jaunes operation has funded 6,644 projects in France.
