Pink October afternoon break at the office in Paris: a charitable afternoon pause
Not every team gets together in the morning: organising a Pink October afternoon break, with a pink selection, budget and charitable commitment.
An afternoon break in Pink October colours
Breakfast is not the only format to mark Pink October at the office. Many teams prefer an afternoon break, simpler to organise without upsetting morning schedules. The principle stays the same: a mainly pink selection, a gesture to raise awareness of breast cancer screening, and a friendly moment between colleagues, in Paris and Île-de-France.
Looking for the morning version instead? See our article Pink October breakfast at the office. Find the full details of our commitment on the page Pink October at the office.
Our commitment: €1 donated per guest in October
Throughout October, L'Écrin Traiteur donates €1 per guest served to breast cancer research, on all orders of the month, not only on the pink selections. An afternoon break for 25 people means a €25 donation, with no extra steps on your part.
What a Pink October afternoon break includes
At L'Écrin Traiteur, gluten-free options are available on request. For the afternoon, our pastry partner Mado has created a light, indulgent selection:
- Macaron tray lychee, rose and raspberry
- Pink October box of 10 madeleines (€29 excl. VAT), pink glaze by Mado: an extra €1 donated to Ruban Rose for each box sold
- Red fruit loaf cake, in individual slices
- Raspberry tartlets, mignardise size
- Red fruit smoothie and Mariage Frères tea, to go with it without weighing anyone down before the end of the day
See all our afternoon breaks to put together your selection beyond the Pink October theme.
