What if a simple padel jersey could have an impact far beyond the courts? That's the challenge taken up by several enthusiasts from the Marseille region, brought together by a charitable project, part of the profits of which will be donated to the association.  The Kids from the Hospital .

The idea was born from a simple desire: to create a jersey that is not just a beautiful piece of playing equipment, but a true vehicle for solidarity.

The project was initiated by a photographer and videographer well-known to local padel players. Accustomed to covering both P100 tournaments and international competitions, he wanted to put his experience and passion to use for a worthwhile cause.

To bring this initiative to life, he surrounded himself with several people with very different profiles but all driven by the same passion for sport.

 EYLAP [Name of company], a padel specialist, handled all the operational aspects: jersey design, production, online store, and logistics. Their essential involvement enabled the project to come to fruition.

This initiative has also attracted others  Padel Magazine , the leading media outlet for French padel, as well as  Real Estate Near You , a partner committed to the development of local sport.

"We all come from different backgrounds, but we share the same desire to grow padel while giving meaning to this adventure," the project leaders summarize.

Concrete support for hospitalized children

For each jersey sold,  €5 are donated to the association Les Minots de l'Hosto .

Created by teachers and early childhood educators from the Timone hospital in Marseille, the association works to improve the daily lives of hospitalized children and adolescents.

The funds raised are used in particular to finance:

  • teaching materials adapted to the hospital environment;
  • artistic and multimedia projects;
  • external interventions;
  • supplies specifically designed for safe use by children in treatment.

The goal is simple: to allow these young patients to continue learning, creating and escaping despite hospitalization, sometimes lasting several months.

"We could have sold one more jersey. We prefer that it be used for something," explain the initiators of the project.
