Le Dimanche 9 août 2015, rejoignez
« Team France » pour la prochaine City2Surf!
Pourquoi:
Comme vous le savez, au cours des 4 prochaines années, le monde entier commémorera la Première
guerre mondiale. Cette commémoration prend une ampleur particulière en Australie qui a participé
activement aux combats à travers l’Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
L’idée est de profiter de la City2Surf qui est un évènement très médiatisé pour montrer que la
communauté française, francophone et francophile de Sydney est reconnaissante vis-à-vis de tous les
soldats australiens qui se sont battus en France pour rétablir la paix.
Nous vous proposons de tous courir tous avec le même message « Thank You Australia ». Nous allons
mettre à disposition un sticker Thank you australia pour la Team France et ceux qui souhaitent porter
le message. Au-delà de ce devoir de mémoire et de reconnaissance que nous avons aujourd’hui,
chacun d’entre nous a certainement d’autres raisons de remercier l’Australie, pays qui nous accueille
aujourd’hui et dont certains sont également devenus citoyen.
Si vous avez déjà prévu de faire la course avec une autre équipe, cela ne pose pas de problème. Le
moment venu nous vous indiquerons comment vous procurer un sticker si vous le souhaitez. Dans ce
cas merci de vous manifester à l’adresse suivante: [email protected]
Une levée de fond
La City2Surf permet également de faire une levée de fond. Pour ceux qui le souhaitent, nous
proposons de réaliser un don au « Homes For Heroes, RSL LIFE CARE, Homes for vets in need »
qui est un programme d’aides aux vétérans australiens des conflits récents. Au moment de votre
inscription sur le site de la City2Surf il vous sera proposé de faire un don à l’association de votre
choix. Vous pouvez également inviter tout votre entourage à faire un don en leur communiquant le lien
suivant: https://city2surf2015.everydayhero.com/au/the-french-team
Comment:
Pour ceux qui souhaitent s’inscrire dans la course à travers « Team France » la procédure est simple
(cf document joint).
Le nom de l’équipe est « Team France »
Le mot de passe pour bénéficier du tarif à $65 est « thankyouaustralia »
Retenez également dans vos agendas le samedi 08 août, nous essayerons de nous regrouper en
présence de S.E M. Christophe Lecourtier, Ambassadeur de France en Australie, sur Bondi afin de
permettre à la presse de couvrir notre projet.
Organisations participantes
Sunday the 9th of August 2015, join
“Team France” for the next City2Surf!
Why:
As you know, over the next 4 years, the entire world will commemorate WWI. This commemoration
holds particular significance in Australia, as Australians actively participated in combat within the
Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
The idea is to make the most of the City2Surf event, which is broadcast extensively, to show that the
French community - both francophones and franchophiles in Sydney, are grateful to all the Australian
soldiers who fought in France to re-establish peace.
Beyond the need that we have today to remember and appreciate these soldiers, each one of us most
certainly has other reasons to thank Australia, the country that has welcomed us and where some of
us have become citizens. We propose to all run with a “Thank you Australia” sticker provided by the
Alliance Française de Sydney (more info: [email protected]).
If you are already planning to do the City2Surf with another team, this is not a problem. When the
time comes, you will be able to get a hold of a sticker if you wish by sending an email to enquiries@
afsydney.com.au.
Fundraising:
The City to Surf also allows for fundraising. For those who wish to participate, we propose to raise
money for the Homes For Heroes, RSL LIFE CARE, Homes for vets in need which is a program
to help Australian veterans returning from recent conflicts. When you enrol on the website for the
City2Surf, you will be able to donate to the association of your choice. You can also forward this
link to all your contacts.
How:
For those who wish to enrol in the City2Surf with “Team France” the procedure is simple. See the
“How To” guide below.
The name of the team is “Team France”. The password to receive a ticket for $65 is
“thankyouaustralia”. Also keep Saturday the 8th of August free in your diaries, as we will bring the
team together in the presence of H.E. Christophe Lecourtier, Ambassador of France to Australia,
taking place in Bondi to allow the press to cover our initiative.
