This January 22, the volunteers offered donors a piece of pancake, in addition to other dishes, as a snack. A nice moment when kings and queens were also able to enjoy one of the eight glass beans from the Laurent pastry shop where the purchases had been made.
Other information, 100 donors presented themselves in the afternoon and among them 10 new donors. But the most incredible thing is that a wind of youth has blown over the fundraiser. “We were surprised by the number of young people”, confides Sophie Coulet, secretary of the association for voluntary blood donation.

In fact, after checking the association’s register, there are 30 donors out of the 100 who came between 18 and 25 years old. A pretty and sympathetic sign for the future. Indeed, it is the donors of tomorrow who will be able to give until their 70th birthday! And when you consider that 170,000 donors leave the donor ranks each year, all of this bodes well.
