PROMOTING YOUR PINK OCTOBER PROJECT
The aim of the Pink October campaign is to raise awareness of breast cancer screening. It can also be a response to Federation initiatives. Promoting your action through these calls for projects enhances its visibility and strengthens your women's section project. We have identified three to which you can respond.
PEF Health
The aim of the federal educational program is to provide young license-holders with activities based on the rules of the game and the rules of life. Six themes are covered by this program, but the one we're interested in here is obviously health. First and foremost, your club must be registered or sign up for the scheme via your FootClub space. Once you've signed up to the PEF, you can register your Pink October action. To do so, you'll be asked to indicate the target audience: your project must involve your soccer school, i.e. players aged between 5 and 17. If your Pink October project involves equipping a youth team, you can describe the action. On the other hand, if you're equipping your seniors, you can still involve your youngsters and tackle breast cancer screening through other actions.
Here are a few ideas:
* Entrance of the players with the youngsters from the soccer school (and the pink jersey)
** Involvement of a health professional to explain the importance of your project to young people.
Taking part in the PEF is part of your club's educational project. But above all, it creates a link between the women's section and the club, a link that is sometimes too important. Some districts and leagues also share the projects they receive each month on their websites, giving you and your sponsors an opportunity to gain greater visibility.
Toutes Foot
For the second year running, the FFF has launched its Toutes Foot call for projects aimed at developing women's participation, strengthening the role of women and revitalizing club projects. Your project must respond to one of two challenges: increasing the number of women playing or encouraging women to take on more responsibility. In this case, the second is particularly interesting for you! Female players are generally very committed to the Pink October project and get involved in its management: it's a great opportunity for you to win their loyalty in this new role of leader. All clubs participating in this tender will receive a €300 Nike voucher. A great opportunity not to be missed. The 2024 call for projects closed on May 5. But hopefully it will be renewed next season.
Philippe Séguin du Fondaction Football Trophies
The Philippe Séguin trophies are open to amateur clubs, professional clubs and pro players alike, with the aim of identifying, supporting and promoting civic initiatives. Your club can therefore apply. All you have to do is fill in a comprehensive application form on the website before the end of December. You'll be taking part in the health and environment section, promoting the benefits of soccer and first aid. The aim here is to promote the jersey as a preventive tool, but also to highlight self-palpation techniques. You can also highlight the importance of sporting activities in both prevention and treatment programs.
Be aware !
These projects are opportunities for you to promote your Pink October project. Both upstream, to convince your club leaders to get involved. And downstream, to communicate about your project and promote your sponsors.
