Jean-Claude Lavorel Foundation: A Long-Term Commitment to Childhood and the Fight Against Cancer
Lyon, 10 June 2025 – Jean-Claude Lavorel, Chairman and CEO of the Lavorel Hotels Group, today officially announces the creation of the Jean-Claude Lavorel Foundation. This personal initiative marks a significant milestone in the societal engagement of this Lyon-based entrepreneur, centred around two major causes: the fight against cancer and the protection of children.
For many years, Jean-Claude Lavorel has actively supported charitable initiatives through his hotel group, both in Lyon and other regions. With the Jean-Claude Lavorel Foundation, these commitments now benefit from a structured framework, designed to last and to generate tangible impact. The ambition is clear: to support human-centred projects that are meaningful and aligned with the urgent needs of our society.
“Through this foundation, I wish to make our commitments long-lasting by supporting meaningful projects that are deeply human and in line with the needs of our society.”– Jean-Claude Lavorel
Two Core Priorities: Cancer and Childhood
The Jean-Claude Lavorel Foundation is built around two main areas of action:
The fight against cancer, through support for research, prevention, and patient care.
The protection of children, via initiatives aimed at improving living conditions and promoting the inclusion of vulnerable children.
Concrete Partnerships Serving the Common Good
In keeping with a collaborative approach involving both local and national stakeholders, the Foundation is already active through several structured projects:
Centre Léon Bérard : active support for this leading cancer centre, notably through the organisation of a charity dinner in aid of research and patient care.
Ma Chance Moi Aussi : hosting events for vulnerable children, offering them moments of joy and respite.
Noël Ensemble : co-organisation of a community Christmas Eve dinner at the Marriott in Lyon, to break the isolation of elderly people during the festive season.
2500 Voix : commitment to tackling paediatric cancers through a partnership with this association, especially during their annual charity dinner.
SapoCycle: partnership with this European hotel soap recycling initiative, which turns waste into hygiene products redistributed to families in extreme poverty.
In addition, the Jean-Claude Lavorel Foundation offers occasional support to initiatives led by organisations such as Handicap International, L’Enfant Bleu, Wine Charity Event, and Café Joyeux, an inclusive enterprise based in Lyon.
A Vision for the Future
The creation of the Jean-Claude Lavorel Foundation reflects a long-term approach to social responsibility. It embodies a deep commitment to support, share, and protect. By structuring its actions around strong partnerships and causes of real meaning, Jean-Claude Lavorel reinforces his determination to build a more compassionate future.
