Pink October: a solidarity campaign to benefit the ICM

Following the activities carried out as part of Pink October, students and staff from the Faculty of Pharmacy officially presented a check to theMontpellier Cancer Institute (ICM). This meeting provided an opportunity to visit the institute's premises and discover its internal pharmacy, enabling enriching exchanges with the ICM teams and a better understanding of their missions in the service of patients and research.

This check presentation marks the conclusion of a major campaign led by the Campus Life Committee and all student associations 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 Ball Tournament, accompanied by numerous activities dedicated to prevention and awareness: information stands on screening and the link between smoking and cancer, a workshop on learning how to perform breast self-exams, a smoothie bike, musical entertainment, and a charity raffle.

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