On November 9 and 10, 2024, the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers, Naturélie salon and Kn'S coiffure workshop organized another Movember event in Le Molay-Littry in support of the Centre François Baclesse in Caen. The event aimed to raise funds for cancer research and patient comfort.
Many thanks to the generosity of participants: thanks to you, €8,300 was raised for the Centre Baclesse. The Handball Club du Molay-Littry also contributed with a donation of €400, bringing the total to €8,700 for the Centre Baclesse. On Tuesday January 28, when the cheque was handed over, Professor Roman ROUZIER, General Manager of the Centre Baclesse, underlined the vital importance of this mobilization to advance research and improve patient comfort. Thanks again to all donors, volunteers and participants for their exceptional commitment.
