For its 40th edition, the Telethon celebrates 40 years of battles and victories in Aytré. The town, the CCAS, local associations, and numerous volunteers are joining forces to raise funds, aiming to surpass the €11,000 collected the previous year.

After collecting €8,500 in 2025 through events organized by the Town and CCAS, supplemented by €975 from Alstom and €1,626 from neighborhood committees, the goal for this 40th edition is to achieve even more. Every participation is crucial for the success of this solidarity drive.
The program will kick off on Saturday, November 14, with a tea dance organized by neighborhood associations, featuring trumpeter Jacques Garel. This event will take place from 2 PM to 6 PM, with an entrance fee of €12 including refreshments.
Saturday, November 28, will feature three solidarity events. The Saint-Étienne church will host a trumpet concert by Jacques Garel (€5 entry), while the association Ritournelle will offer dance initiations (salsa and bachatango) followed by a dance evening at the Jean-Vilar hall (workshop: €14, evening: €10). The four neighborhood associations will also organize a belote card game competition at the Jean-Vilar hall (participation from €5).
A DJ evening by the Fief des Galères association will be held on Friday, December 4, at the Jules-Ferry hall, with entry from €5. On Saturday, December 5, and Sunday, December 6, residents of Les Cèdres will present a musical comedy and a solidarity sale at the Georges-Brassens House (entry from €5).
