The Rotary Club Tarragona has donated €4,000 to Mamapop Solidarity Tarragona, a donation that was made possible thanks to the sale of the Les Cartes game promoted by the organization. The amount will be added to the profits of the Mamapop solidarity concert held last November in Tarragona and will be entirely allocated to breast cancer research at the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV).
The donation was presented this Monday during a dinner held at the Hotel SB Ciutat de Tarragona. The event was attended by the director and manager of the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute, Dr. Joan Vendrell and Francesc López, respectively. They had the opportunity to share with the attendees the work carried out at the IISPV. Manel Simon, promoter and artistic director of Mamapop, thanked Rotary Tarragona for its collaboration with the project. “In our second year in Tarragona, we continue to add support and network in the territory with the common objective of contributing to research,” he added.
The cards, illustrated by Joan Noguera Figueras, represent representative elements of Tarragona such as figures from the Popular Procession, historical monuments, modernist buildings and the city’s four castelleras groups. Around twenty points of sale in the city have collaborated in the sale of the card games with solidarity objectives in recent months: the Association of Women of the House of the Sea, the Via Augusta gas station, the Urban Property Chamber, Casa Guasch, the Gabri i Sirvent ice cream parlors, the Botiga del Cafè, Madonna Moda, the IISPV; as well as the pharmacies Dolors Andreu, Irene Escudero, Emma Esplugues, Maria Esther Fernández, Silvia Mas, Joaquim Nolla, Joan Sabaté and Antoni Salazar.
The charity Mamapop held last November in Tarragona reached one thousand tickets sold and in the coming weeks the total profits will be donated to the IISPV.
