Cvery year, the month of October is adorned with pink in many French cities. In the town, this period becomes an unmissable event, with a series of events that mobilize residents, associations and local stakeholders. Summary presentation.
The city is adorned with pink
For several years, the old Annecy road station has been lit up for the occasion. Today, the city is moving up a gear: municipal buildings and roundabouts are adorned with pink. T-shirts will flourish too. Through sporting, cultural and informative events, the City comes together to support the cause, recall the importance of screening and raise funds for research: an exhibition of the League Against Cancer, from Tuesday October 1 (from 5 to 7 p.m.) at the Activity Space of the Éclat de vie socio-cultural center; a conference at the René Perrin high school, Thursday October 10 (8:30 p.m.), with the association A each son Everest; the pink days of information, awareness and meetings (workshops, games, quizzes, information on aid, social and work rights, addictions and risks).
Free courses and sessions
The city’s sports associations are also joining the Défis Roses initiative on Sunday, October 20 (9 a.m. to 12 p.m.) by offering treasure hunts, indoor biking or rowing sports challenges at the Atlantis aquatic center; the funds collected through registrations (5 euros on site) will be entirely donated to the League Against Cancer. Associated with activities from October 1 to 31, the François Marcone space of the Foyer d’animation pour tous, is dressed in pink and presents the exhibition Feminine inspirations ; free Qi gong and gentle pilates classes are intended for women affected by breast cancer, or a flash mob, on Saturday October 19, at 5 p.m., in front of the Festive room. By combining sport, culture, prevention and solidarity, collective mobilization is a powerful lever to support patients and finance research.
