Story
The massive XSCAPE 3 Valleys Charity Day (formerly La Tania Charity Day) in aid of charities in the UK and France takes place in April every year. In 2015 we aised €36,000 - Thank you to everyone involved.
A limited amount of 2015 Charty Day T-Shirts are available for £10 each.
Starting in 2002 and inspired by season worker Dan Provost who had recently lost his mother to cancer there's historically been fancy dress, live bands, a BBQ, outside bar, raffles, auctions, silly games, Harley Davidson rides, the annual egg eating competition, the Charity Day T Shirt, Saisonnaires Poll Winners Party and The La Tania Charity Ball. We also had a float race down La Troika piste in La Tania and in the first year a Chinese Downhill!
The money raised has been split between the <a href="http://www.sebastiansactiontrust.org/" target="_blank">Sebastian's Action Trust</a> (a respite home for terminally ill children and their families in Hampshire, England) and the <a href="http://www.ligue-cancer.net/index.php" target="_blank">Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer</a> (the French Cancer Research Charity).
Since 2012 the event has taken place in Méribel Village for a safer, more organised event with more room and security for everyone to have a great day - a separate cordoned off area with toilet facilities, security staff, marquee / beer tent, comedy, dance tent, a covered stage, professional PA, security staff and transport services to Méribel & La Tania / Courchevel provided.
2014 saw The Dub Pistols added to the local bands line up and the Pistoleros returned again in 2015 along with Radio 1 & 2 DJ and Queen of the Live Lounge, Jo Whiley.
2015 also saw a La Tania Family Charity Fête on Easter Monday which raised €5,500 and a return to the original La Tania roots with BBQ, Kids Games, Easter Egg Hunt, Ski Race and a chilled out atmosphere involving the whole village.
The total amount raised so far by the Charity Day events in 2015 was €36,000 - well done to everyone involved - the organisers, workers, volunteers, performers, all those behind the scenes and most importantly all the people who supported the event, bought food, drink, raffle tickets and merchandise. Thank You All!
