A local organization dedicated to cancer support received a significant boost earlier this year thanks to community fundraising efforts. On January 21, Jean-Marie Lafosse presented a check for €1,500 (approximately $1,625 USD) to Action Cancer 47, funds raised during the “Octobre Rose Hautefage-Cassignas” event held on October 19.
The event, a collaboration between the Hautefage-Cassignas and Hautefage-la-Tour municipalities and the local committee of fêtes, featured a hike, a meal, and a pétanque tournament, drawing substantial participation in support of breast cancer awareness and research. Early detection and support are crucial in improving outcomes for those affected by cancer.
Committee members Sophie, Lionel, Amélie, and others presented the donation to Yan Baudoux, president of Action Cancer 47. Baudoux highlighted the organization’s comprehensive work, which extends beyond breast cancer to encompass all types of cancer.
