Solidarity

Racing 24 hours for a shared cause

Since its origins, KF1 has connected sporting performance, corporate engagement and solidarity around Telethon.

Where the money goes

The racing is the mechanism. The giving is the point.

A company does not enter twelve people in a 24-hour kart race for the karting. It enters because the weekend funds children's medicine, and because its name stands next to that for a day and a night.

How to contribute

Four ways in

  1. 01

    Active solidarity

    The race gives companies a concrete way to connect performance, responsibility and collective mobilization.

  2. 02

    Useful communication

    Sponsors and teams gain visibility tied to a human story, not only a sporting one.

  3. 03

    Telethon heritage

    Public storytelling keeps the historical Telethon link without announcing unconfirmed amounts.
