Pink October: A Solidarity Campaign to Benefit the ICM

Following the activities organized as part of Pink October, students and staff from the School of Pharmacy officially presented a check to theMontpellier Cancer Institute (ICM). The visit provided an opportunity to tour the institute’s facilities and explore its in-house pharmacy, fostering enriching exchanges with the ICM teams and deepening our understanding of their work in support of patients and research.

This check presentation marks the culmination of a major campaign led by the Campus Life Committee and all the student organizations throughout the month of October. On October 7, a flash mob organized in the main courtyard, in front of Audiocampus, kicked off the campaign in a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere.

The campaign continued on October 14 with the “Pink Balls” tournament, accompanied by numerous activities focused on prevention and awareness: information booths on screening and the link between smoking and cancer, a workshop on how to perform a breast self-exam, a smoothie bike, live music, and a charity raffle.

Thanks to the collective efforts of students and staff, 1,800 € was donated to the ICM.
