The association Autour des Williams celebrated its 20th anniversary with its Charity Gala on October 4, 2023, at the Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris.

This event aimed to support a cause close to its heart: advancing research on Williams-Beuren syndrome to find a treatment and improve the quality of life for those affected.

The Gala was full of surprises, featuring a dinner created by the three-Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alléno, and an evening hosted by the association’s patron, Ophélie Meunier. Master Fabien Mirabaud, auctioneer, led the auction, which included unique experiences and artworks, with the goal of raising funds to support the association’s activities and research efforts.

The funds raised will be directly used to help people affected by Williams-Beuren syndrome and to advance research!

Among the artists present, Lasveguix made a sensation by offering two magnificent works: the first centered on Jane Birkin, which sold for 50,000 euros, and the second focused on Frida Kahlo, auctioned for 12,000 euros.

A first charity sale at Roland Garros

Lasveguix had already had the opportunity to offer his works at the Coeur Central charity sale for Terre d'impact (the FFT endowment fund) and for the association Fête le Mur, of which Yannick Noah is president.

On this occasion, Lasveguix created a magnificent painting to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Yannick Noah’s victory at Roland Garros, which was sold for 35,000 euros.
