The 2nd edition of The Night of Solidarity Against Cancer (La Nit Solidaria contre el cancer) will take place on Friday, June 7th at the Bellver Castle. This special event is organized by the AECC – the Spanish Association Against Cancer in collaboration with the Balearic Islands chapter. There are individual AECC organizations across Spain.
The goal of the Night of Solidarity Against Cancer is to raise funds for oncology research and to reach 70% cancer survival by 2030. It also about continuing improving the lives of people with cancer and their families. The first edition of this event last year raised 36,000 euros for oncological research.
The choice of the Bellver Park as a location is new for this year and offers a welcoming and central location for people to gather, with the beauty of the castle in the background. As guests arrive, there will be a welcome snack and guests will enjoy a special performance by the Palma Gospel Singer choir. Various food stands will be attended to by some of the island’s top chefs, coming from the local association of chefs based in the Balearic Islands. Among them include, Gabriela Oliva, Miquel Serra, Javier Soriano, Bernabé Caravotta and Enrique Erazo and the participation of numerous collaborators from the restaurant sector. There will be ongoing musical entertainment and a raffle featuring gifts donated by local shops and businesses that will be hosted by David Ordinas, a presenter of the IB3 program: 'Jo en sé més que tú'.
