In the fight against the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic, players from the Union Bordeaux-Bègles do not intend to sit idly by. They decided to support caregivers as well as with their teammates in the field. This Thursday, they voluntarily launched a kitty to help the staff of the Bordeaux University Hospital in the face of the health crisis that France has been going through for a few days.

This Leetchi kitty will be open until April 10. People who put 10 euros or more will participate in a big draw to win many prizes offered by players. Signed jerseys, club balls but also personal effects.
