Every year on October 21, the world rallies for World Breast Cancer Awareness Day. This event is part of Pink October, a month dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, a disease that affects millions of women around the world. It is an opportunity to remind people of the importance of early detection, to support those who are affected, and to make a gesture to advance research.
At Adopte Ma Culotte , we are committed to supporting this cause. On this special day, we want to raise awareness in our community and encourage donations to help the associations that work daily alongside women affected by this disease.
Associations and Foundations to Support
Many organizations work year-round to raise awareness about breast cancer and support patients. Here are some organizations to know about and support:
- The League Against Cancer : This association offers awareness-raising activities, personalized support for sick people and finances research projects. You can make a donation directly on their website or participate in their online kitty.
- Ruban Rose : Created to fight breast cancer, Ruban Rose sets up communication campaigns and finances research programs thanks to the donations collected. Join their initiative and participate in their online collection for Pink October.

Different Types of Donations: How to Contribute?
There are many ways you can help fight breast cancer:
-
Financial donations : Associations need funds to finance research, organize prevention campaigns and support patients on a daily basis. You can donate directly via secure fundraisers:
- Pink Ribbon Prize Pool
- League Against Cancer Fund
- HelloAsso , a solidarity kitty platform where you will find numerous local and national initiatives linked to breast cancer.
- In-kind donations : Some organizations accept donations of clothing, including underwear that is suitable for women who have had a mastectomy. For example, you could organize a collection of bras or comfortable underwear.
- Donations of time : Participating in events, volunteering during collections or raising awareness among those around you is also a valuable way to contribute to the cause.
Participate in Solidarity Activities and Events
For associations, companies, and individuals, many initiatives already exist to raise awareness and raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. Here are some emblematic events to join:
-
Odysséa Race : Organized in several major cities in France, the Odysséa race mobilizes thousands of participants each year to run or walk for the benefit of breast cancer research. A large portion of the funds raised is donated to the Gustave Roussy Institute to support research. You can register directly on their website.
-
Pink October by Ruban Rose : Throughout the month of October, the Pink October campaign coordinated by Ruban Rose offers sales of goodies (like the famous pink ribbons) whose profits are donated to research and patient support projects. Discover the events organized and how to participate on their official website.

#TousUnisContreLeCancer online sports challenges : Since the pandemic, several sporting events have gone digital.

Bra Collections : Many local associations, in partnership with the Ligue contre le Cancer, organize bra collections in partner boutiques and stores to raise awareness and funds.
