16th edition of Pasteurdon: companies and foundations committed to research alongside the Institut Pasteur
Every year since Pasteurdon first began, several companies and foundations have rallied to the cause to offer their support with special fundraising drives of their own. Read on to find out more about the initiatives of the companies and foundations that are supporting this latest edition.
- Our loyal companies and foundations
LE ROCH-LES MOUSQUETAIRES FOUNDATION
Set up in 1998 by the Les Mousquetaires group, the Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires Foundation has been supporting the Institut Pasteur's scientists for more than 15 years, focusing in particular on the research being conducted on foodborne diseases.
For the 2022 edition of Pasteurdon, Intermarché and Bricomarché stores are once again stepping up alongside the Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires Foundation.
The production units in the Les Mousquetaires group will be offering around a dozen charity-linked products from October 4 to 9 – healthy, seasonal products based on the idea of "eating better."
The gardening branch of Les Mousquetaires is also getting in on the action, selling orchids and bouquets of cut flowers in aid of the Institut Pasteur.
The Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires Foundation will donate a share of the proceeds collected during Pasteurdon to support the Institut Pasteur's research on biological food safety. A practical brochure, "fewer germs on our plates," will be available in October in Intermarché stores, containing a host of tips and advice on food hygiene.

AG2R LA MONDIALE
In connection with its "Vivons Vélo" initiative in aid of the Institut Pasteur, AG2R LA MONDIALE, a loyal sponsor of the Institut Pasteur's neuroscience research, is organizing fun and friendly cycle rides in several French cities (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, etc.) to get people out on their bikes. The first ride was held on July 9 and two more will follow on September 24 and October 8. The French social welfare and protection company is also supporting the Institut Pasteur with its Vivons Vélo smartphone app. Every kilometer covered during the group rides or via the app will be turned into donations to boost the Pasteurdon charity counter. 2022 target: €100,000 for the Institut Pasteur's teams!

LA FAB
Exceptionally this year, the launch event for the campaign will take place away from the Institut Pasteur campus at La Fab., agnès b.'s art center. The famous stylist is allowing the Institut Pasteur to use this 1,400m2 artistic space designed by Augustin Rosenstiehl, which houses themed exhibitions of her collection of more than 6,000 works, free of charge.
La Fab. is the headquarters of the agnès b. endowment fund, which since 2009 has structured initiatives in aid of the social, charity and environmental causes that agnès b. has been supporting personally for more than 40 years.
