Five hundred guests attend 38th cancer charity gala in Marbella, raising 200,000 euros

The 38th fundraising gala organised by the Marbella branch of the Spanish cancer association AECC brought together 500 guests at Finca la Concepción last week.

Music, surprises and raffles created a festive atmosphere that helped the organisation raise some 200,000 euros.

The funds will go towards the research projects, programmes and services that the association offers patients and their families in Marbella. Among well-known faces was singer and actress Lolita Flores, who collected the 'Fighter' award. She has taken part in various prevention campaigns and is an example for others following her own personal fight against the disease.
