Champions unite for children: PLAY International’s charity sale with Drouot Estimations

To champion every child’s right to sport, play and leisure, a host of high-profile athletes and artists have donated more than 70 unique experiences and signed memorabilia. All proceeds will go towards PLAY International’s education and inclusion programmes, which use sport and play to support vulnerable children and young people in France and around the world.

Athletes and artists from across disciplines have stepped up to defend children’s rights. Ensuring access to play and sport means giving young people the chance to dream – just as Léon Marchand, Novak Djokovic, Tadej Pogačar or Violette Dorange once did. Above all, it means giving them the conditions they need to grow, learn and thrive.
With over 25 years’ experience in sport for development, PLAY International is renewing its commitment through this charity auction, with funds supporting a wide range of educational and inclusive projects.

The sale features an exceptional line-up: official basketballs from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, signed champion jerseys, VIP visits, theatre experiences and more. It’s a rare opportunity for fans and collectors – and the perfect chance to find a meaningful, one-of-a-kind gift ahead of the festive season.

All funds raised will help support PLAY International’s programmes. Founded in 1999 as “Sport sans Frontières”, the organisation is built on a simple belief: sport is a powerful driver of education, development and social inclusion. Its mission is to equip children with the tools to become confident, engaged citizens – and to unlock the extraordinary potential of sport in shaping their future.
