Breast cancer awareness month : Bordeaux with Elodie supports women
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to stand together in solidarity and hope. Here in Bordeaux, Bordeaux with Elodie is proud to support women, raise awareness, and celebrate strong female voices across our vineyards.
Why October = Pink Ribbon Month
Every October, the world shines pink in a powerful global show of support for breast cancer awareness, research, and survivors. In Bordeaux, this energy takes shape through fundraising events, educational campaigns, and community-driven initiatives. One highlight? The Pink Ribbon Challenge on October 25–26, a 7 km charity walk around the Miroir d’eau that raises vital funds for screening programs and early detection in our region.
