On the agenda:

La Rochette Cartonboard SAS is once again supporting the Téléthon for 2025!

👉 100 sheets of Rochcoat 300g, manufactured locally in Savoie, France, were provided to produce 300 collection boxes created by students from the Packaging Engineering Bachelor’s program (BUT PEC) at the IUT of Chambéry.

These collection boxes were placed in local shops across Savoie as early as November 2025 to help raise funds for AFM Téléthon Savoie, while also raising public awareness and reminding everyone of the Téléthon campaign period.

The Téléthon, an association created in 1987, supports people affected by genetic diseases and rare disorders:
✅ 3 research centers in France
✅ 350 research programs and 40 ongoing clinical trials
✅ Development of treatments with promising results
✅ Support for 3 million affected individuals and their families

In 2024, in Savoie, 150 events helped raise €250,000 on site, in addition to more than €700,000 in online donations — contributing to a national total of €96,553,593!
