The Dijon football club (Ligue 1) made two donations of 100,000 euros each to hospitals in Dijon and Besançon to help them cope with the coronavirus epidemic. "The club is trying to bring its stone to the building during this period of cataclysm, explained to 20 minutes the president of the DFCO, Olivier Delcourt. There are only two CHUs in the Burgundy and Franche Comté regions, it is the least we can do to support healthcare staff on the front line. We also had 3600 croissants delivered. We think of them but also of all those who continue to work for everyone and who take the risk of bringing the virus home. ”
