BALI CATAMARANS and Joajoie: A Solidarity Partnership for Hospitalized Children

The Joa Joie association, based in Perpignan, was founded in 2005 in memory of Joaquim, a young boy who passed away from a brain tumor. Driven by the desire to perpetuate Joaquim's joy of life, his parents created this association to improve the daily lives of hospitalized children with cancer or long-term illnesses. Joa Joie operates in the pediatric departments of hospitals in Perpignan, Narbonne, and Montpellier, funding projects and purchasing equipment (games, shows, etc.) to brighten the children's stay.

It is in this context that Catana Group, a company headquartered in Canet-en-Roussillon and which manufactures the Bali 5.8, Bali 5.4, and Bali 4.8 models, wished to partner with Joa Joie. The geographical proximity and shared values naturally led the Catana Group teams to support the association's actions, thereby strengthening Joa Joie's positive impact on the territory.

A significant donation for concrete projects

The donation from Bali Catamarans allows the association to purchase toys for pediatric services, among other things. This gesture will be accompanied by broader support through an ongoing project designed to bring comfort to young patients.

Daniel Fita, president of the association, emphasizes the importance of such initiatives in bringing joy to sick children. As JoaJoie celebrates its 20th anniversary next year, this collaboration with Bali Catamarans highlights how local economic networks can actively engage to support charitable efforts.

The JoaJoie adventure continues, with even more actions in support of children and their families.
