The "Drakkars de Caen" Hockey Club has been supporting the Baclesse Center for several years. Once again this year, the club took part in Pink October and Movember to raise funds for breast cancer research and to help improve the comfort of Baclesse patients.
Pink October and Movember with the Drakkars
On October 21, 2023, to mark Pink October, the Drakkars hosted the Comètes de Meudon for a match in aid of the Center, kicked off by Pr Roman ROUZIER. The Caen team wore pink shirts specifically designed for this match dedicated to breast cancer. The shirts worn by the players were auctioned off from October 23 to 27, with all proceeds going to the Center.
The "Pink October" program was duplicated for Movember. On November 11, 2023, at the Caen ice rink, the Drakkars took on the Chambéry Elephants after a kick-off given by Michèle MARIE, a nurse anesthetist at Baclesse. Congratulations to the Caen team, who came out on top against Chambéry!
Here too, the "Movember" shirts worn by the players were auctioned off the week after the match, to raise funds for Baclesse.
6,387 donation for Baclesse
On January 15, 2024, Ludovic LANES, Club President and Brice CHAUVEL, General Manager, accompanied by their partners, presented Pr Roman ROUZIER with the donations from these 2 operations.
- Pink October: €3,485 for Laurent POULAIN's team, for work on the ORGAPRED platform.
- For Movember: €2,902 for the operating room team, to support the project to create an "animated" ceiling in the recovery room. This will help reduce stress and promote relaxation and serenity for patients, with soothing, pleasant landscapes.
MANY THANKS TO THEM!
