Like every year, the Lions and Rotary clubs of Lourdes, Argelès-Gazost and Bagnères-de-Bigorre join forces to organize an exceptional Maxi Loto for the benefit of cancer research, simultaneously in several municipalities. Here are 4 questions to find out everything about the event.
What is Maxi Loto?

The aim of this event is to raise funds for the departmental committee of the League against Cancer as well as the Lourdes Cancer Espérance association, in order to support the most deprived patients, but also their families. Last year, the Maxi Loto allowed the Lions and Rotary clubs of Lourdes, Argelès-Gazost and Bagnères to donate €20,000 to these two local associations. In 39 years, since the first edition, a total of more than €380,000 has been collected for the benefit of cancer research.
