'We are counting on the participation of all those involved in sales' - Arqana fundraising for cancer centre at October Yearling Sale

Arqana will be fundraising for the François Baclesse Centre through the Octobre Rose initiative, with all vendors invited to take part in a charity challenge during next week's October Yearling Sale.

La Marche Rose will begin on Monday and conclude on Friday when the gavel falls on the final lot. 

Those 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 in Caen to support cancer research and care. The details of the initiative can be found here.

A limited edition of the Arqana x Octobre Rose beanie will be on sale in the boutique, at the entrance to the restaurant Le Resto, and at the customer service for €15. All profits will be donated to the François Baclesse Centre. A donation box will 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 Francois 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.”
