The Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV) will receive money to support breast cancer research. This is thanks to Rotary Tarragona Club, which is bringing back the popular “Tarragona Cards” for the festival. These cards, first made in 2023, have festive drawings. The money from selling them will go to research projects led by IISPV.
This new edition—limited to 1,000 sets—will be for charity. But that’s not all: Rotary Tarragona is also creating the first Solidarity Microtheatre Show, happening on September 13 and 14. The theatre groups Amanida Teatre, Escena 6, Dones de Mar Teatre and Ves Per On Teatre will perform short plays. Their goal is to raise money for the Mamapop Foundation, which also supports breast cancer research and works with IISPV.
Ideas with “added value”
The Culture Councillor, Sandra Ramos, said during the presentation on Wednesday, September 3, that these ideas “add value” to a festival that already brings people together. With this solidarity effort, Santa Tecla 2025 shows its commitment to health and science, turning festive culture into a way to help society.
In 2025, the Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV) celebrates 20 years of promoting research in health and biomedicine across the region. With more than 600 professionals and 38 research groups, the institute has become a key reference in transferring scientific knowledge to clinical practice. Years after its foundation, it continues working to improve the health and well-being of the population.
