Singing against cancer

ORGANISERS of the Alfaz International Choir Festival last week donated more than €2,900 to the Alicante Association Against Cancer (AACC) raised during this year’s edition of the event on May 5 and 6.

Festival director Jose Antonio Rubio handed over the cheque to AACC president Pablo Enriquez and thanked the support and solidarity of the audience, as well as local Norwegian schools

Den Norskeskole and Den Norske Clubben Costa Blanca and the local Musical Innovation Centre for their generous contributions.

Alfaz mayor Vicente Arques took the opportunity to highlight the committed response of residents whenever their support is needed and highlighted the charitable nature of the International Choir Festival, which has become a major cultural event in Alicante Province.

The council adds that if the number of requests presented exceeds the initial budget, the total amount could be increased to meet the demands.
