Mini Mimosa – Kids Running for Kids

📅 Date: Sunday, April 27, 2025
📍 Location: Stade du Fort Carré, Antibes
👟 Open to: Children aged 5-15 years

Mini Mimosa is a fun and inspiring event just for kids, combining races, sporting challenges and activities to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer. It’s a high-energy, community-driven event that unites families, schools and local businesses for a vital cause.

Every Step Counts

Each year, 2,500 children in France are diagnosed with cancer, including 50 in the Alpes-Maritimes. Mini Mimosa empowers children to take action while promoting health, community spirit, and generosity.

💛 This year 100% of funds raised—including registration fees, donations and raffle ticket sales—goes directly to helping children with cancer in our region.

Where Your Donations Go

All proceeds support Dessine-moi la High-Tech, an association that uses technology to bring joy and comfort to young cancer patients through:

✨ Hospital visits with virtual reality, robotics workshops, and adapted drone piloting, offering children moments of happiness during treatment.
🔬 Pediatric cancer research using Big Data and AI, accelerating treatments and improving outcomes.
🎓 Training medical staff with virtual reality tools, helping young patients better tolerate treatment.

A Fun-Filled Morning for All Ages

Alongside the 800m, 1.6km, and 3.2km races, families can enjoy:

🎶 Music 
🎨 Face painting & an art station and bouncy castle

⚽ Sports demonstrations
🍰 Delicious homemade treats

A Special Thanks

Mini Mimosa would not be possible without our long-term partners, La Ligue Contre le Cancer, and sponsors:  Globeducate schools—ISN Nice, ICS Côte d’Azur, and Mougins British International School, Savills Valbonne-Mougins and Le Plongeoir.

We are also deeply grateful to the Mairie of Antibes for providing the Stade du Fort Carré and for their ongoing support.

ISN Nice, ICS Côte d’Azur and Mougins British International School are proud sponsors of the 2024 Mimosa Mini Runners event, and all three schools have a history of working with the organisation or participating in fundraising events over the last few years.

As members of Globeducate, a global network of premium bilingual and international schools in twelve countries across the world, our schools prepare each student to be a global citizen who can shape the world. We are committed to inspiring and empowering students to make a positive difference while showing empathy and compassion with people everywhere. Sponsoring the Mini Runners event aligns with our values of community involvement, education, health promotion, and philanthropy, and it shows our students that they can have a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

The Mimosa community inspires us to help those affected by cancer and contribute to efforts to find a cure and provide support services.

Le Plongeoir is proud to sponsor the Mini Mimosa runners this year, supporting local children battling cancer. As a family-owned business with deep roots in our community, we are committed to promoting an active lifestyle and working together for causes that matter.

We are honoured to be part of this unique event, raising awareness and encouraging the next generation to join in and make a difference. Together, let’s bring hope and strength to those who need it most!
