The CBT collects 650€ for Mamapop solidarity in Tarragona

Club Bàsquet Tarragona has handed over the proceeds from the game against Palmer Basket Mallorca to the Mamapop team on Wednesday, just a few hours before the opening of the 9th Mamapop at the Palau Firal i de Congressos de Tarragona. The €650 will be added to the proceeds of the concert and will go to breast cancer research at the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute.

Núria Grados, president of the CBT and Manel Simón, director of the Mamapop solidarity concert.

Club Bàsquet Tarragona has donated a total of €650 to Mamapop Solidari, a fundraiser raised thanks to the charity match between CBT and Palmer Basket Mallorca just a week ago at the Pavelló del Serrallo. This amount will be added to the profits from the concert and will go entirely to breast cancer research at the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute. Mamapop stresses the great value of this first collaboration with the CBT, which combines sport and solidarity and gives great visibility to the project.

Mamapop Tarragona is supported by the Repsol Foundation, Factor Energia, the Port of Tarragona, Tarragona City Council and Tarragona Provincial Council.
