Léon Marchand and Léna Situations among the donors
The event attracted more than 110,000 spectators who watched live broadcasts from around thirty personalities. Among the notable donations, we should mention that of influencer Léna Situations. She donated 20,000 euros to the associations. The four-time Olympic swimming champion, Léon Marchand, donated 4,500 euros.
Ahead of the event, there had been criticism of the presence of streamers who had made controversial remarks and the organizers’ refusal to conduct background checks.
