Just to let you know that the Christmas Fair was a huge success and the takings surpassed all expectations, especially considering the economic "crisis. At the Salou Fair we raised over €6,300, and at the El Perelló Christmas Fair €2,845.58 was raised, bringing the total to the fabulous sum of €9,145.58.
This year between the two groups we've raised €32,000. As you know we divide the monies between the three Spanish charity organizations we support - the CNIO (official cancer research institute in Madrid), the AECC (Association Against Cancer - Tarragona branch) and AFANOC (Children with Cancer) for a special project in Tarragona. We have just issued cheques for €5,500 to each of the charities.
Since the Freesia Group began, some €176,273 have been raised up to date.
None of this would have been possible without the help of our wonderful supporters and donors. We have a marvellous team who are always there when needed, particularly to help with our main events - the Christmas Fair, the Fun Run in May, and the St. Valentine's dinner dance.
Thank you all once again for devoting your time and efforts to this worthy cause.
Looking forward to your continuing support in 2010.
A HUGE well done to all involved. Congratulations on a succesful year of hard work and organisation. Let's hope that with the recession receeding a tad in Europe, 2010 will bring similar, if not even better, results for all of your dedication.
