Mini Mimosa – Kids Running for Kids
Back in Valbonne for 2026 !
📅 Date: Sunday, 3rd May, 2026
📍 Location: Stade des Bouillides, Valbonne
👟 Open to: Children aged 5-15 years
Mini Mimosa is a fun and inspiring event just for kids, combining races, sporting challenges and activities to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer. It’s a high-energy, community-driven event that unites families, schools and local businesses for a vital cause.
Every Step Counts
Each year, 2,500 children in France are diagnosed with cancer, including 50 in the Alpes-Maritimes. Mini Mimosa empowers children to take action while promoting health, community spirit, and generosity.
💛 This year 100% of funds raised—including registration fees, donations and raffle ticket sales—goes directly to helping children with cancer in our region.
Where Your Donations Go
All proceeds support Dessine-moi la High-Tech, an association that uses technology to bring joy and comfort to young cancer patients through:
✨ Hospital visits with virtual reality, robotics workshops, and adapted drone piloting, offering children moments of happiness during treatment.
🔬 Pediatric cancer research using Big Data and AI, accelerating treatments and improving outcomes.
🎓 Training medical staff with virtual reality tools, helping young patients better tolerate treatment.
A Fun-Filled Morning for All Ages
Alongside the 800m, 1.6km, and 3.2km races, families can enjoy:
🎶 Music
🎨 Face painting & an art station and bouncy castle
⚽ Sports demonstrations
🍰 Delicious homemade treats

A Special Thanks
Mini Mimosa would not be possible without our long-term partners, La Ligue Contre le Cancer, and sponsors: Globeducate schools—ISN Nice, ICS Côte d’Azur, and Mougins British International School, Savills Valbonne-Mougins and Riela Yachts Monaco.
We are also deeply grateful to the Mairie of Valbonne for providing the Stade des Bouillides for this event.
As members of Globeducate, a global network of premium bilingual and international schools in twelve countries across the world, our schools prepare each student to be a global citizen who can shape the world. We are committed to inspiring and empowering students to make a positive difference while showing empathy and compassion with people everywhere.
Sponsoring the Mini Runners event aligns with our values of community involvement, education, health promotion, and philanthropy, and it shows our students that they can have a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
The Mimosa community inspires us to help those affected by cancer and contribute to efforts to find a cure and provide support services.
At Riela Yachts Monaco, we are proud to support the Mimosa Matters organization and the important work they do for children in our community. The support they provide to families is both inspiring and essential. We believe every child deserves hope, care and encouragement, especially during life’s most difficult moments, and we commend everyone involved for their dedication to this cause.
We are all affected by this disease in one way or another and the Mimosa association does an extraordinary job in raising funds to help the well-being of sick children. We are proud to be able to support them in this endeavour.
ICS Côte d’Azur is the only bilingual school in the Riviera Region offering the IB Primary Years Programme in French and English to children ages three to 11. A team of internationally-minded teaching staff puts every student at the centre of their learning journey, creating an unparalleled culture of care.
