In Nîmes, the RCN supports the fight against hygienic insecurity with an auction

Vente aux enchères de maillots ce samedi.

This Saturday, a jersey auction for a cause… not so far from the world of rugby.

It is not to alleviate financial difficulties, but for a good cause that the Rugby Club Nîmois (RCN) is organizing, this Saturday, an auction of jerseys from the match against La Seyne. That of the fight against hygienic insecurity.

Far from the world of rugby ? Not really to listen to, this Tuesday, the president of the RCN, Steeve Calligaro. "Solidarity is part of the DNA of our sport! This action is part of our desire to be more than a sport, particularly with our Rugby Cœur Nîmois endowment fund.

Twenty-three purple jerseys for the occasion, the color of sharing and solidarity. The color of Lent, hopefully a good omen, this Easter weekend…

2 500 hygiene kits distributed

L’action really needs it as explained by Dolorès Orlay-Moureau, Health Assistant at the City of Nîmes during this press briefing . "There is a real difficulty in accessing these products for women in precarious environments. These are expensive products and even more so with inflation! This represents between 15,000 and 20,000 women in Nîmes, more than 2,500 hygienic kits distributed. Each kit allows a woman to have hygienic products for a period of one month.
The RCN was the first club to wish to support this cause, three years ago, underlines the elected official, "by allowing us to benefit from its network of companies".

The auction, orchestrated voluntarily by Maître Champion, will kick off on Saturday March 30, at 6:45 p.m., at ;space partners. The profits will be donated to the HumaNîmes association.
