Bio-Rad France Completes Step Challenge and Cancer Fundraiser  

January 3, 2025

At Bio-Rad, commitment to important causes is part of our DNA. Bio-Rad employees in France recently participated in the Race of Lights Step Challenge, a national event which brings together companies to tackle sedentary lifestyles and raise funds for cancer treatment and prevention.

In total, 197 Bio-Rad employees participated across 35 teams created for the event, each proudly named after a Bio-Rad product. From November 15-24, the employees took nearly 15 million steps, or approximately 11,000 kilometers, which is the equivalent of walking from Paris to Beijing!  

Giving Back  

In addition to the health benefits enjoyed by those who walked, the challenge also enabled us to contribute to a worthy cause. Bio-Rad donated 1,000 euros (a little over $1,000 US dollars) to the Cami Sport et Santé association, which supports cancer patients through therapeutic physical activity. Together, the participating companies raised a total of 350,000 euros in donations for various associations.  

"I participated in the Race of Lights Step Challenge for several reasons,” said Magali Brossier, a product support specialist. “This initiative highlights core values like solidarity and support for charitable organizations, which deeply resonate with me. It was also a great way to encourage myself to stay active, especially alongside my colleagues, in a work environment where I’m not very physically active.”  

A Team Victory

Bio-Rad also distinguished itself against the 13 participating companies: 

  • 2nd place for average number of steps per participant
  • 1st place for total steps accumulated, thanks to the exceptional mobilization of our teams

“To me, Bio-Rad embodies a constant commitment to advancing health, which is central to its mission, while fostering a culture of mutual support and collaboration."

- Magali Brossier, Product Support Specialist, Food Science Division 

We also want to recognize our top individual walkers: Olivier Pradillon (521,800 steps), Aurélien Lebon (452,900 steps) and Clément Vidal (423,700 steps). Congratulations to all 197 employees for your shared enthusiasm, team spirit and solidarity.

Once again, you've proved that Bio-Rad is a company committed to causes that count.
