Manager, Russell Clements, and the Iceland Overseas San Javier team are very optimistic of achieving their fundraising target for MABS Murcia/Mar Menor. Handing over a further 1800 € this month, brings the total raised to date to 5494 €. “We set ourselves a target of 10,000 € when we nominated MABS as our charity at the beginning of the year,” commented Russell “And we’re extremely pleased that we have already gone past the half-way mark.”
This second tranche of funds was raised at the Easter Fun Day which was organised by Sorelle Fox and supported by several local businesses: AngloINFO, C&M Bouncy Castles, Sunshine FM Radio, Viva TV, and the Classic Car Club of Torrevieja displayed their vintage cars. MABS volunteers were on hand in the week leading up to the event to pack customers’ bags in return for a small donation. There were competitions and a fabulous array of raffle prizes, including a pair of Hugo Boss sunglasses from Specsavers worth 200 € – thanks to the lovely Kathleen who gathered all the prizes. A summer event is planned for July, which promises to be fun for everyone, so keep checking the press and the MABS website.
“Team Iceland is also in training for the MABS Race for Life on 13 November and we can’t wait to see what outfit Martin Lawrence will turn up in.” said Janet, MABS Fundraising Co-ordinator. “He dressed up as Miss Iceland at the Easter Fun Day, much to the amusement of Iceland’s customers.” Russell Clements is a serious badminton player and hopes to win the Spanish National title this year, so his training for the competitions will stand him in good stead for the 3 km route along the promenade at Los Alcázares.
