An extraordinary day combining sport, emotion, and solidarity.
On Saturday, October 4, 2025, La Bastide de la Salette was decked out in pink to celebrate a day dedicated to generosity, sharing, and life.
Under a bright sun, the golf course and restaurant were transformed into a true place of gathering, exchange, and heartfelt connection, bringing together athletes, families, partners, and visitors around an essential cause: the fight against breast cancer, in partnership with the Paoli-Calmettes Institute.

An extraordinary outpouring of solidarity
The 2025 edition will remain etched in our memories.
The golf competition was sold out, with 108 players gathering at dawn in a spirit of kindness and sharing.
From the outset, each participant received a tee gift from Fujifilm—an elegant and symbolic souvenir of this unique day.
On the course, the atmosphere was both focused and joyful: smiles, encouragement, applause.
The teams were followed by photographers and a videographer, capturing the best moments, while a drone flew over the course to immortalize these exceptional images of a golf course dressed in pink.
Tee shots were taken from pink balls, specially set up for the occasion by our ground crew, who also made sure to mark the day in the bunker on the 18th hole with the distinctive pink ribbon symbol. When creativity and ingenuity reflect teamwork in the service of a single cause.
Beyond the score, solidarity was the real winner. The awards ceremony took place in a unique format: a solidarity raffle, where each participant present had a chance to win a prize, thanks to the generosity of our partners and donors.
It was a way of thanking everyone for their commitment, in a spirit of sharing and fairness.
Every swing, every smile, every moment shared on the course contributed to supporting the research and patient support carried out by the IPC. All of the entry fees collected will be donated to the IPC.
A day open to everyone
Because La Bastide de la Salette is above all a place of life open to all, this day was not just for golfers.
Numerous activities allowed everyone to participate in their own way:
- the launch of new dishes, desserts, and drinks at the restaurant, with part of the profits from sales throughout the month of October going to the IPC.
- free golf lessons for patients, caregivers, and nursing staff, thanks to our instructors Bruno and Christophe, who volunteered their time to welcome participants.
- A giant raffle with generous prizes. The Association’s volunteers did a remarkable job of raising as much money as possible to support research and donate the entire proceeds to the IPC.
These were moments of sharing, where sport, well-being, and solidarity came together with simplicity and emotion.
A festive and luminous evening in pink
As evening fell, the terrace of La Bastide lit up for an exceptional Soirée Rose, bringing together several hundred guests in a magical atmosphere.
To the spellbinding rhythms of Herbie Lite, Alain Filippi, Lola Group, and Bruno Sax, the evening set Marseille’s heart racing. It was a pleasure to be an open stage for the Art Danse dance school and to admire the dancers’ work in a festive atmosphere.
Between gourmet food trucks, cocktail stands and tastings, the Eversmile photo booth, and Therry’s meticulously designed decorations, everything came together to make this edition a moment of joy and hope.
The presence of the association Le Rire Guérit 13 added an extra touch of emotion and humanity to this evening of laughter, dancing, and sharing, together, for a cause that unites us all.

A day when every smile, every swing, and every note of music counted.
