Fundraising

Last weekend, the Institut Pasteur experienced an unprecedented outpouring of generosity. You will no doubt have heard about the Z Event which took place from September 20 to 23 – a 54-hour charity marathon based on streamed video games, with all the proceeds collected this year going to the Institut Pasteur. The amazing response from an entire community led to an incredible €3.5 million being raised – a world record for a charitable cause on the Twitch platform. Read the message from the President of the Institut Pasteur.
