The Councilor for Social Welfare, Inma Rodríguez, highlighted the importance of this initiative, which she describes as a significant event in the city's solidarity calendar. According to Rodríguez, the activity reflects Gandia's commitment to people at risk of social exclusion and promotes coexistence.
“"It unites solidarity and coexistence."
The president of the Next to You Foundation, Virginia Pons, explained that the event will take place at the Mercat del Prado, with a limited capacity of 500 people. Pons thanked the involvement of citizens, entities, and local businesses, emphasizing that “Gandia is a very supportive city”.
The day will begin at 12:00 PM with musical ambiance and preliminary activities, followed by the solidarity lunch at 2:00 PM. Afterwards, there will be a solidarity raffle with the participation of local businesses, and the afternoon will conclude with a session by DJ Diego Mas. Tickets, with a donation of 10 euros, can be purchased at Mercat del Prado, la Bodega, Farmàcia Bertó, and Farmàcia Central. There are also collaboration options through a zero-row, digital sponsorships for 150 euros, or Bizum donations.
