This Sunday, January 5, 2025, the CitéStars association allowed underprivileged or sick children to attend the magnificent show of Cirque Phénix, « Cirk Africa » by Cirque d’Ivoire, during the Christmas Tree organized in their favor.
130 children including 30 sick children from the Rothschild Foundation participated in the 26th Christmas tree event organized by the CitéStars association.
On this occasion, the children were able to collect autographs from personalities who are friends of CitéStars.
They received gifts, soccer balls, books, sweets, and snacks. A show was offered to them by the director of the Cirque Phénix, Mr Alain Pacherie.
CitéStars, an association created in August 1998 by personalities from the world of entertainment and sport including Jean-Pierre Castaldi and David Donadei, the current president, has managed to obtain numerous partnerships in order to help disadvantaged or sick children in Paris and the Ile de France region.
David Donadei, president and founder of the association, has only one goal: to bring happiness to children, and it is for this purpose that, for 26 years, he has strived to organize each year events and Christmas trees in the presence of personalities with a circus show.
Among David’s guests, we were able to meet the presenter Télé Météo Fabienne Amiach, Katia Tchenko (singer and actress), Evelyne Dress (actress, writer), Ghani Yalouz (general director of INSEP and 2 times European champion of Greco-Roman wrestling), Thierry Samitier (comedian and actor), Cartouche (comedian and actor), Didier Six (ex professional footballer), Jean-Michel Moutier (ex professional footballer), Amara Simba (professional footballer), Ludovic Berthllot (actor), Laurent Olmeldo (actor), Jean-Pierre Castaldi and of course the president of CitéStars David Donadéi, Bernard MENEZ (actor), Alexandra BOUSSOT (actress), Frédéric THIRIEZ (ex President of the National Football League and lawyer at the Court of Cassation and Council of State), Fabrice PANCRATE (ex professional footballer in Nantes and PSG), Grace de Capitani (actress), Fiona GELIN (actress), Douchka ESPOSITO (singer), Jean Philippe LUSTYK (sports journalist), Bruno WARTELLE (former professional boxer), Farid KHIDER (former professional boxer), Ali HALLAB (former professional boxer), Moché LEWNY (Chief Rabbi of France), etc.
The children were able to count on the dedication and generosity of personalities (artists, athletes, journalists, comedians, partners, etc.) without forgetting the mayors and elected politicians including Laurent Jeanne (mayor of Champigny sur Marne), the televisions and the press. Everyone was delighted to pose with the children in front of the photographers’ lenses in a relaxed atmosphere.
See you at the end of the year for the Citéstars gala dinner and next year for the Christmas tree in January.
