The first week of December, a national fundraising campaign is launched wherein Polytechnique’s current and former community members as well as the general public, are encouraged to make a donation and in exchange, receive a virtual white rose.
All funds raised are then given to Folie Technique, Polytechnique’s scientific outreach kids camp program. They in turn use these funds for all-girl science camps that offers young girls and women from disadvantaged communities the chance to get acquainted and develop a love of the fascinating universe that is engineering and the sciences.
The White Rose Week online donation site is accessible all year long.
