An evening to benefit the Norman Edmunds Association

This charity auction is organized in aid of the Norman Edmunds Association, founded in tribute to Norman Edmunds, who died in 2014 at the age of 26 as a result of undiagnosed encephalitis causing severe autistic disorders and loss of speech from the age of two.

Founded by her father, Jimmy Edmunds, the association pursues a profoundly human mission: to offer well-being and moments of soothing to children with autism spectrum disorders through contact with horses and the benefits of equitherapy.

Inspired by Norman's love of animals, the Norman Edmunds Association has been acting since 2017 to support autistic children and their families through solidarity, educational and therapeutic projects centered on the relationship with horses.

Bringing together collectors, sports enthusiasts, patrons and donors, this exceptional evening combines generosity, passion and commitment in a prestigious setting in the heart of Paris.

The pieces offered for sale, exceptionally signed by major figures in international soccer, have been brought together to support the association's actions and help fund equitherapy programs for autistic children.
