The municipalities of Morbihan, like in 20,000 in France, are mobilizing for the Telethon, a charity event organized by theFrench Association against Myopathies (AFM). The 2024 edition takes place on Friday November 29 and Saturday November 30, 2024 and aims to finance research projects on myopathies, neuromuscular genetic diseases and other rare genetic diseases.
Since its creation in 1987, the Telethon has taken place every year on the first weekend of December. In 2024, it will take place exceptionally on the last two days of November in order to give way to the reopening ceremony of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral on December 7 and 8.

Organized with the help of France Télévision which is setting up a television marathon on its channels, it brings together around this cause, in a festive manner, 20,000 French municipalities with those abroad and 280,000 volunteers from 50,000 local associations everywhere in the world. The 2023 Telethon collected 80,671,222 euros.
