Téléthon Thionville fundraising 2026, Digi Mart USA News (Thionville, France): Thionville, with more than 42,000 residents, is among the most generous French communes during the Téléthon. Local representatives of the Association française contre les myopathies collected 87,431 euros in 2025, placing the city first in the Grand Est region.
In total, Thionville has raised 754,639 euros over the past 14 years. The source notes that this illustrates the importance of the event in northern Moselle, which is preparing to host the 2026 edition on December 4 and 5.
The 2026 event marks two anniversaries: the 40th year of the national campaign and 15 years of local participation in the city, the third-largest in Lorraine. Local business network Entreprendre en Lorraine Nord is again playing a major role, contributing nearly 50 percent of the Thionville total.
Donors can give through the AFM Téléthon website or at several events planned in Thionville in early December. Other activities include a November 11 concert by Le Symphonique de Thionville-Moselle at the municipal theater and a November 20 performance at the Adagio with the group Couleur.s trio.
According to the source, 66 percent of a donation is tax-deductible from income tax.
Sports activities are also planned, including fun triathlon challenges, wheelchair basketball, table tennis and tarot tournaments at the La Milliaire gymnasium and the Thionville swimming pool, which will remain open to regular users. Young people are expected to join as volunteers, including at La Briquerie for table tennis events, according to Daniel Preslier, who leads the Téléthon committee at Entreprendre en Lorraine Nord.
A raffle is also part of the fundraising options.
Full venues, schedules and information are available on the Facebook page Telethon Thionville and on the website of the municipal sports office, omsthionville.com.
