Last Sunday, the KKO Beach Club organized the third edition of the Raquettes Roses, a charity tournament between women to raise awareness of early detection of breast cancer and raise funds for the oncology department of the Louis Constant Fleming hospital center.
40 women, or 20 teams of duos of players, competed on the sand of the Baie Orientale beach from 14 p.m. The competitive spirit went perfectly with the friendly atmosphere of this unifying event, dedicated to a great cause: the fight against breast cancer. With the aim of raising awareness among all women about screening during a sporting event dedicated to sharing, the entire KKO Beach Club team is delighted with the success of this third edition. The public, who came in large numbers, did not fail to encourage the players who gave an unforgettable sporting spectacle. Each of the 7-minute matches was played in joy and good humor. At the end of the pink competition, it was Marion and Magalie who won 15-12 against Cécile and Noémie. Ksénia and Claire climbed onto the third step of the podium, and Marine and Ombeline grabbed fourth place. After the effort, the participants relaxed their bodies and minds during a yoga session given by Marine. The unmissable raffle brilliantly closed the event, thanks to the generosity of the many sponsors. The KKO Beach Club team would like to warmly thank the members of the association, the players, the CPTS of Saint-Martin, the DRAJES and the Collectivité. _Vx
