MABS Murcia/Mar Menor receives no government funding and relies totally on support from the public and local businesses. Despite the economic downturn, people are still doing their bit for this local charity and raising money in a variety of ways.
The Lodosol Bar in San Pedro del Pinatar held a Ladies’ Night, with a ‘Full Monty’ atmosphere, raising 320€. “The night was a huge success and tickets sold out very quickly, so we will be holding another event in the New Year.” said bar owner, Janet Grout. Manageress, Lizzie, involved other local businesses, who donated many items for the raffle, including a free manicure, wine, spirits, a taxi run, a box of ‘sexy goodies’, and a free breakfast at the Lodosol. “People have been so generous, everyone had such fun on the night, and it’s great to raise money for such a worthy cause.” said Lizzie.
Diamante’s Restaurant in El Mojon held an ‘Ebony & Ivory’ Ladies’ Lunch and raffled some fabulous prizes, raising 150€ for MABS. This was the launch of a new Ladies’ Luncheon Club which will be held on the third Tuesday of every month, with the next one due on Tuesday, 18 January. The lunches should prove popular, so please contact Diamante’s on 965 352 947 to avoid disappointment. Owner, Terry, and her team are planning a regular, monthly raffle to support MABS Murcia/Mar Menor “We know that MABS has helped several people in our area and it’s a pleasure to be able to do something in return” said Terry.
SOS Boutiques in Los Alcázares and La Manga got customers in the Christmas mood with mulled wine, mince pies and Viva quartet singing Christmas songs, raising 78€ for MABS with a raffle.
DFS Furniture in San Javier is entering its third year of sponsorship with MABS Murcia/Mar Menor. “We are extremely grateful to Paul and the staff at DFS” said Janet Bell, MABS Fundraising Co-ordinator. “They have quietly supported us in many ways, from their regular, monthly donation, to storing and transporting hospital equipment for us, and sponsoring our Race for Life.”
