The town of Pignan, alongside numerous associations and volunteers, was heavily mobilized throughout October as part of October Rose. The common goal was to raise funds for the local association Gaie-Rire, which supports cancer patients.

Various activities marked this solidarity operation, including shows, workshops, sports events, and a flea market. The Théâtre Chicanette association presented a play, while Vivre et Sourire organized a lottery. Sports enthusiasts participated in padel tennis and touch rugby tournaments, as well as a solidarity walk and a trail run. Demonstrations by Tatane Academie and Country K Danse also took place.
Families were particularly involved with a flea market, inflatable structures, and creative workshops such as scrapbooking and bracelet making. The primary leisure center Les Petites Canailles contributed by making donation boxes and handmade creations.
The firefighters of Pignan offered their support by lending a truck and conducting demonstrations. The refreshment stand was managed by the veterans' association of AS Pignan, and the food truck l'Instant Truck donated a portion of its profits.
The association Gaie-Rire, the beneficiary of this mobilization, was able to engage with the public about its activities. Mayor Michelle Cassar, accompanied by elected officials, also expressed her support for this collective initiative.
Gaie-Rire, a public interest association, finances supportive care and specific products for cancer patients, such as certain prostheses and skincare products adapted to cancer treatments. A check presentation ceremony will soon announce the results of this operation.
