On May 24th, Féminin Pluriel Montpellier Méditerranée had the pleasure of organizing a charity fashion sale to support the AGNES MCLAREN ASSOCIATION.
It was a warm and joyful moment, celebrating community, elegance, and solidarity. 💞
Thanks to the generosity of our members and supporters, all proceeds will be donated to the Agnes McLaren Medical Prize. This prize rewards a medical thesis focused on the health of women and/or children in vulnerable or precarious situations, and funds a project based on that research.
📅 The award ceremony will take place on September 12th in the afternoon at the Faculty of Medicine in Montpellier and will be preceded by a conference.
