Nice Singer Santa Donates €100,000 to Telethon, cites “Immense Obligation” as Godmother
NICE, FRANCE – December 6, 2025 – Santa, the celebrated singer from Nice, has made an “unprecedented” donation of €100,000 to the Telethon, funds generated from a recent tour. The contribution will directly support research into rare diseases, a cause the artist has passionately championed in her role as godmother of the 2025 edition.
This significant gift arrives at a critical juncture for the Telethon, as research into rare genetic conditions – including myopathies – demands meaningful and sustained financial investment. The high cost of laboratory work and the lengthy timelines involved in developing potential treatments necessitate ongoing public and private support.Santa emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum in both fundraising and public awareness during a recent broadcast.
Santa explained the donation was specifically intended to “run up the meter,” ensuring continued mobilization of public support for the cause. She repeatedly described her role as godmother as an “immense responsibility,” stating she is committed to dedicating “all his rage” to families affected by these challenging diseases.
The Telethon, a yearly fundraising event, supports research aimed at finding cures and treatments for rare genetic diseases that affect thousands of individuals and families across France and beyond. The funds raised are vital for maintaining research programs and providing support to those living with these conditions.
