Recent Fundraising and Donations
As the world has become a little more normal, fundraising in June and the beginning of July has raised:
Ascot Ladies’ Day raised an amazing 1,427.80€, so a big thank you to everyone who came along and gave so generously and to all our glamorous models.
Charity Quiz on Camposol B raised 271.10€, so a shout out to Jay Leatherland and his team for their efforts and to everyone who took part.
MCC Social Club which is sadly closing after 17 years donated 1,000€ to MABS and 1,000€ to Age Concern, so another thank you to the Committee and members of the Social Club – their trips and events will be sorely missed.
