PALS Top The 250,000€ Donation Level With the presentation of the new ambulance to the Ayuntamiento in Mazarrón, PALS celebrated a milestone in their charity existence. On Saturday 27 th April, after a change of a date and a change of venue, The Honorary British Consul, Antonio Berdonces, on behalf of PALS, made the presentation of the new ambulance to Gines Campillo the Alcalde of Mazarrón. The ambulance will be maintained and staffed by Cruz Roja and has already been seen in use on Camposol. The ambulance money was raised by CAFÉ over a six year programme, (almost to the day) and various sponsors were involved, <strong>Costa</strong> Cálida <strong>Chronicle</strong>, AngloInfo and particularly <strong>Costa</strong> Cálida International Radio, with their organisation of the annual CAFÉ Concert. The Lions Country Club were also big donators, but it’s the general public who put together more than 45000€. Thank you one and all. PALS have funded the balance of the purchase price of 57536€ which they hope to recover within the year so that they may return to their normal funding operations. 57,536€ for the ambulance 188,414€ donations from PALS to local emergency and hospitals 6,400€ with great help from CCIR for the Earthquake in Lorca Total: 252,350€ Thank you everyone. PALS was involved in the ‘ambulance project’ on a management basis with The Bahia Lions, but the money has come from individual events and donations.
