The towns of Morangis and Savigny-sur-Orge once again demonstrated their solidarity for October Rose, raising €21,664.98 for the Institut Curie. This amount surpasses last year's record.

This Friday, November 13, 2026, Brigitte Vermillet, mayor of Morangis, and Alexis Teillet, mayor of Savigny-sur-Orge, presented a check for €21,664.98 to the Institut Curie. This handover, made in the presence of numerous partners, marks the success of the two towns' joint mobilization for the fight against breast cancer. Last year, the collection had reached €18,337.50.
Throughout the month of October, the two municipalities mobilized through various events. Among the new features this year was the sale of merchandise such as armbands and neck warmers, in addition to the traditional t-shirts.
In Morangis, the mobilization began on October 4 with the first edition of the pink dog walk "Les Pattes Solidaires" (Solidarity Paws), organized during the Animal Encounters event.
On October 10, as every year, the town scheduled a show, this time featuring the troupe Les Amazones, for an evening dedicated to humor and solidarity. The 5th edition of the solidarity race "La Boucle Rose" (The Pink Loop) also took place on the same day.
More recently, on November 9, a Raffle organized by the Festival Committee raised €1473, thanks in particular to the participation of Champion Outillage and Sophie Varsori.
