Pink October 2024, by Fabienne Bouju - Ouvrard

Through this “column”, we wish to give every ACT-ON GROUP employee the opportunity to share a personal commitment or a humanitarian and supportive contribution - aimed at helping the most vulnerable, protecting the planet or championing any other cause close to their heart.

Fabienne Ouvrard brings you up to speed on the new initiative launched by the ACT-ON GROUP Nantes office for Pink October. Discover their latest action to support the fight against breast cancer…

"Don’t throw away your old bras anymore - donate them for Pink October! 🎗️

Last year, Stéphanie Leclerc, Sonia Renaud, Cindy Perraudeau, Grégory René-Aubin and I organized a breast cancer awareness day at ACT-ON GROUP in Nantes.

We visited the University Hospital (CHU), held a self-examination workshop… The day was as full of activities as it was of emotions! I was thrilled with how warmly our initiative was received. 🙌

This year, we decided to support Pink October in a different way: by collecting bras! 💗

All donations will go to associations fighting against breast cancer.
It may sound simple and I know it is… But organizing these collections is more impactful than you might think. 🌟

1. We encourage prevention, especially through self-exams and mammography.
2. We underscore the importance of medical research.
3. We support those affected by the illness, as well as survivors. 💪

How to organize your own?
Very simply: all you need is one or more boxes!

What happens to the collected bras?

• Those in good condition are resold at discounted prices to help women in need.
• Others are recycled to give them a second life. ♻️

See, it doesn’t take much to make a difference… So, what are you waiting for?”
