Tour de Credit Suisse 2023, Swiss Team
Happy anniversary, Tour de Credit Suisse! For this 10th edition of the Tour, the team will start in Nice in Southern France and cycle all the way to Geneva.
This is a challenging, employee-driven fundraiser in favour of young people in need and a fantastic team-building opportunity for Credit Suisse employees from across the bank.
Solidarity with young people in need of psychological help
More and more young people in Switzerland feel the psychological pressure due to multiple crises: Coronavirus, climate, Ukraine war, inflation, social disparity etc. hit children and young people in a particularly vulnerable phase of their lives. Pro Juventute provides easily accessible help through their crisis line 147. The helpline has experienced an increase of 50% in calls from young people over only two years, with +30% expressing fear and depression, and 7-8 per day seeking advice because of suicide thoughts, more than twice than before the pandemic.
Support participants with donations. Employees organize and manage the entire event, and they cover most of the cost for the ride, including travel, accommodation, food and drink, and road safety and support themselves.
