BENIDORM PALACE hosted
a Christmas special doggy charity day and it was a spectacular
success as local businesses and popular musicians from around
Benidorm, and some travelled from the UK to give, for free, their
time for this worthy benefit 'Save our lives 2.'
People adorned their
Christmas hats and reindeer antlers as they rocked to an array of
fantastic performances. They also had the opportunity to experience
the latest state-of-the-art magic mirror technology where they could
wear costume accessories and take group photos.
Chris, the owner of
Benidorm Palace, has expressed her passionate support for Benidorm
homing that helps abandoned and sick dogs often dumped. She worked
with Donna from the charity save the Spanish Sharpie for weeks to
make this memorable event happen. Donna also works closely with other
volunteers and groups like the Tiger foundation, and Manos Y Patos
all who make sure these dogs are adopted but equally as important, in
the interim, looked after and loved.
It didn't stop there.
They say every penny is accounted for so, they invited people, who
worked behind the scenes, from various support charities, news
reporters, including The Weekender all there to help with the
official count. This was done in the trophy room of the palace and
calculated down to the last cent, penny and the odd rogue Scottish
pound note.
All was accounted for with a staggering total of €13,460
raised not only at the event but through outside donations too.
Everyone was delighted with the result and we couldn't help feeling a
little humbled and in awe in the presence of these people so proud
and passionate about such a worthy cause.
Volunteers are always
welcome and needed to walk the dogs between 10am and 1pm Monday to
Saturday. Please bring some form of ID.
