A community committed to student success

The year 2025 was also marked by a strong mobilization of the BSB community.

The Move For YouTH sports and charity challenge #4 brought together 950 participants and raised €83,000 to fund "Coup de pouce" scholarships, the Incubator, and the One Health Center.

‍

‍

In total, more than €102,000 was raised from individual donors, 83% of whom are BSB alumni.

Innovative projects made possible through philanthropy

‍

Beyond providing financial support to students, the Foundation supports the development of key projects for the School's future.

‍

In 2025, the Charity Gala held in Lyon helped fund the Design Lab at the new School of Media, Culture & Communication. This space allows students to develop their creative skills and work on digital fabrication and innovative design projects.

‍

The Foundation also continued its charity auction of prestigious wines. Featuring 86 exceptional lots, this third edition raised €17,724 to support students at the School of Wine & Spirits Business.

Thank you to our sponsors, partners, and donors

‍

These results would not have been possible without the commitment of our corporate sponsors, our alumni, BSB staff, and all the donors who support the Foundation.

Every contribution plays a part in student success and the development of meaningful projects for the future of BSB.
