Econocom confirmed its support for the fight against cancer at the closing evening of the 36th Télévie, which raised the record sum of €12,239,019. The event took place on 20 April at Tournai Xpo, and was broadcast live on RTL TVi and Bel RTL. The evening marked the end of a year of fund-raising activities (including testimonials and events) aimed at raising money for cancer and leukaemia research.
Télévie is organised by the RTL-TVI group and has been a major event in French-speaking Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for over thirty years. The previous year’s efforts raised over €11 million for the Fonds de Recherche Scientifique [Scientific Research Fund] (FNRS), helping to fund 88 research projects and supporting 95 scientists.
Econocom was a logistics partner for the 14th year and contributed by supplying over 200 refurbished PCs for the Tournai Xpo pledge centre. This is a highly complex challenge: our teams discover the infrastructure they’ll be working on throughout the day that very morning so they have to organise the technical set-up in a great hurry to be ready on time.
Our commitment was also publicised by the RTL group, which promoted the Group with stickers on laptops used during the event and by broadcasting our 20-second advert on their channels and social networks from 8 April.
This collaboration underlines Econocom’s commitment as an ethical and responsible player which seeks to have a positive impact on society. We extend our warmest thanks to all the volunteers for their commitment and their contribution to this important cause!
