Throughout October, the town of Castelnau-de-Médoc, along with its associations and local businesses, is uniting for Pink October, a campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer. Various sporting, cultural, and solidarity events are organized to inform, sensitize, and support the fight against this disease.
The town is decorated in Pink October colors, visible at the town hall, the library, and the Cabane aux Partages. A 'Pink Corner' at l'Escale Tiers Lieu offers sales of pink items. The association Aquarelle et Pastel is exhibiting and selling paintings at the town hall's reception and the CCAS.
Among the highlights, the Castelnau Football Club is organizing a cake sale at 1:30 PM during the U13 match. Other events include a fashion show with an auction, dance performances by L’Danse and Like Angels, a choir from SCAPA, an exhibition of illustrations by Marie-Laure Laborde, and a grand raffle.
Initiatives such as those by Cousette & Causette, from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Hameau des Familles, and a 5 km gentle-paced walk offered by the Club de Marche et de randonnée at 10 AM in the market square, are also part of the program.
The pharmacie Porte du Médoc will host professionals from the Maison de la Prévention de la Clinique Mutualiste du Médoc from 10 AM to 12 PM to discuss prevention and screening. Coach In Castelnau, located at the church square, is organizing a day dedicated to solidarity and donations.
The Club de Tir à la Cible will be present from 9 AM to 6 PM at the former college, while CDM Radio will host an evening event at 7 PM at Les Viviers. The Tennis Club la Médullienne offers a sports and solidarity day from 10 AM to 6 PM in Avensan, and Castel'Bad is organizing an activity from 9 AM to 4 PM at the Canterane Gymnasium.
These events underscore the importance of breast cancer prevention and screening. Donations collected will support research, prevention efforts, and the care of those affected by the disease. The town extends its gratitude to the associations, businesses, health professionals, and volunteers for their mobilization.
