Rubro-negras participate in the Flamiguinhos' action for the Pink October campaign
In partnership with the Social Responsibility department, athletes, influencers and fans gathered at the Gávea headquarters
By Helena Petry - inA large team of women gathered this Sunday morning (20) in Gávea for a very important cause. Athletes, influencers, collaborators and fans joined forces in an action by Mais Querido's Social Responsibility department in partnership with Grajaú Filmes, the production company responsible for the Flamiguinhos Channel, a success among the little red-blacks, which will have Pink October as its theme for next month.
"Empowering women and promoting gender equality in all social and economic spheres is fundamental to social development. With Pink October as the backdrop, the goal of this partnership with Flamiguinhos was to address this topic with children in a lighthearted and playful way. An education free from prejudice and with abundant representation will certainly mean adults who are more aware of their potential, which only contributes to the advancement of society," explained Camila Nascimento, the club's Social Responsibility Manager.
With the aim of raising awareness, especially among women, about the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer, stars from various Olympic sports at Mengão lent their voices to bring visibility to the cause.
"We're running this campaign committed to showing the importance of the Red-Black Nation. Let's all play together in this too! Pink October is super important, and I'm sure each and every one of these fans cares deeply about this moment," commented Daniele Hypolito.
Newly arrived at Flamengo, volleyball player Amanda Campos also made a point of leaving her message.
"Pink October is crucial for raising women's awareness about self-examination. It's important for us to spread the word; it's our duty and obligation to provide this information to society, especially women. We're in this together," said the captain of Sesc RJ Flamengo.
Gymnasts Flavia Saraiva, Rebeca Andrade, and Lorrane Oliveira also participated in the event, as did Maria Clara Lobo, Lorena Molinos, and Duda and Laura Miccuci from artistic swimming. Swimming was represented by Nathalia Almeida and Priscila Souza, and water polo by Samantha Rezende and Bruna Couri. Rower Isabelle Falck was the face of the founding sport.
