Launched in 2015, HEROES for Imagine is an auction that aims to raise funds for the Institut Imagine, the world’s leading research, care and teaching center for genetic diseases.
Over the course of its four previous editions, HEROES has raised more than 22 million euros for the Institute. To this day, 8,000 genetic diseases are listed, affecting 35 million patients in Europe including 3 million in France, 1 in 2 children is still left without a diagnosis, and 85% of diseases have no available treatment. Research is therefore crucial, and all support is essential in this fight to cure genetic illnesses.
