On Sunday, September 25, more than 1000 people gathered at the castle of Savigny-Le-Temple in France, coming together for an inclusive boxing gala. The event was organized by Amour et Sport ("Love and Sport") and French cultural association SMILE Movement, in partnership with Venum. 

Attendees were invited to watch amateur fights of all categories, including men, women and athletes with disabilities. 

Venum was proud to support the event by offering the following:

• The provision of Venum equipment for all amateur fights (boxing ring, head gear, gloves etc.) plus the fighters' outfits,

• Activities dedicated to young people, who were equipped with the brand new Venum x Angry Birds collection. Kids were able to try boxing in complete safety.

• A Venum stand for which part of the profits were donated to the association Love & Sport,

Founded in 2005, Venum is now the number one brand in the field of combat sports. Growing steadily since its creation, the brand has established itself as a leader in the combat sports market, being present in all disciplines: MMA, Boxing, KickBoxing/Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,... Thanks to a unique worldwide distribution network in the combat sports sector and a sponsorship strategy that brings together the best athletes in each discipline, the brand now enjoys unprecedented recognition in its field.

Amour et Sport (Love & Sport) is a French association with a mission to bring together and reintegrate young people around the values of, and love for, combat sports. Amour et Sport believes the practice of sports is essential for young people, especially in disadvantaged communities, because sport is a tool for education and communication. Amour et Sport regularly organizes boxing training sessions and combat sessions so that young people can discover and pursue their potential.

The objective of the creation of Smile Movement is to give voice to the humanitarian and social causes that French consulting agency Smile supports. Smile does this by creating a bridge between its network of personalities (talent, creators, artists, etc.) and social causes, through which more than 30 million people can be reached.

In order to amplify its impact, Smile Movement has developed a Skills Sponsorship program, providing structure and support to companies and associations in need.
