Cancer Centre the Focus of Fundraising Effort during Arqana October Yearling Sale

Once again this year Arqana will be fundraising for the François Baclesse Centre in Caen through the Octobre Rose initiative, with all vendors invited to take part in a charity challenge during the October Yearling Sale.

'La Marche Rose' will start on Monday, October 21 and finish on Friday, October 25 when the gavel falls on the final lot. Vendors wishing to take part must form a team with some or all of their employees. At the end of each day, the team will calculate the average number of steps taken and turn it into donations for the François Baclesse Centre to support cancer research and care. Full details of the 'Marche Rose' initiative are available here.

Meanwhile, a limited edition of the Arqana x Octobre Rose beanie will be on sale for €15 in the boutique, at the entrance to the restaurant Le Resto, and at customer service, with all profits to be donated to the François Baclesse Centre. A donation box will also be available at the papers office throughout the sale.

Arqana chairman Olivier Delloye said, “All the Arqana teams were keen to renew their participation in this important campaign and give their support for the François Baclesse Centre, which is doing remarkable work in the fight against cancer. We are counting on the participation of all those involved in sales. This disease affects all, and we are convinced that everyone will want to take part in the charity challenge during this sales week.”
