Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
A 17th edition alongside our sponsors, still firmly committed and dedicated to the cause
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.
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 nearly 20 years. For Pasteurdon 2023, the Intermarché and Bricomarché chains are once again supporting the cause. From October 3 to 8, more than ten charity-linked products will be available, with part of the proceeds going to support the Institut Pasteur's research on the biological safety of food. The Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires Foundation is also producing an online magazine, "Fewer germs on our plates," on its learning platform, with practical information and games to understand and adopt the right behavior every day.

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 to get people out on their bikes, from September 23 to October 7. 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.
ASSU 2000
For the tenth year running, Assu 2000 is partnering with Pasteurdon to support research into the gut microbiota. The insurance company will be introducing a generous charity-linked product campaign for Pasteurdon in its 300 agencies and on its website. From September onwards, it is donating €2 to Pasteurdon for any new car, motorcycle, health or provident insurance policy taken out.
FIGARO GROUP
The Figaro Group is once again supporting the Institut Pasteur in its print and online editions and also on its radio station, Le Figaro Radio, accessible via DAB+ enabled devices. This year's Pasteurdon will be supporting medical research via a host of different channels!
