The entry price of this virtual opposition organized in the “Medical Arena” (also virtual) is fixed at one euro. "Internet users can reserve 1, 3, 5, 10.15 places depending on the donation desired," said the club. Tickets can be purchased until May 10 at the club ticket office.

Already 30,000 euros collected for medical staff via the Guilhem fund
This endowment fund created by the CHU de Montpelier has been welcoming a kitty since March 20, the amount of which will be donated to the nursing staff and patients of the Covid-19. "The objective is to fill the Medical Arena to collect the maximum amount of money for the benefit of the Guilhem Foundation," recalls the BLMA. It supports the nursing staff of the Montpellier CHU who are on the front line and who do everything in their power to defeat COVID-19. As of April 8, nearly 30,000 euros have already been collected.
Created three years ago, the Guilhem fund contributes to the actions of the Montpellier University Hospital in terms of innovation and public health. "It is a private law, non-profit structure, independent of the CHU but created by the CHU to receive donations, legacies and donations of all kinds," explains the health establishment. It therefore constitutes a guarantee of proper use of the funds paid, in complete financial transparency. "
