On Saturday, October 17, an information stand was present at the town center market in Étampes, run by the municipality and the Ligue contre le Cancer de l’Essonne (League Against Cancer of Essonne). The aim was to emphasize the importance of screening, collect donations, and answer residents' questions.
At 10 a.m., a solidarity march began from the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall). Funds raised from the symbolic registration fee of €1 per person were entirely donated to the Ligue contre le Cancer. About thirty people formed the procession, accompanied by municipal elected officials.
The march concluded with a speech by the president of the Ligue contre le Cancer de l’Essonne, Dr. Sylvie Murawa-Durand, who highlighted the importance of screening and the League's role.
The next event is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at 8:30 p.m., at the Jean-Lurçat reception hall for a free charity concert. Full details of the Pink October program in Étampes are available online.
