A charity golf tournament will raise funds for the Spanish Association Against Cancer in Mijas.

The municipality of Mijas will host a charity golf tournament on July 12 to benefit the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), which will take place at the Asia course of La Cala Resort, starting at 9:00 AM, with more than a hundred people expected to participate, as announced this Wednesday by the City Council.

Thus, the City Council has informed in a statement that the event, which will be played in Stableford format, has the collaboration of the municipalities of Mijas and Fuengirola, as well as numerous companies and private entities.

The manager of Mijas Golf, Robert Mitchell, has thanked the involvement of all the people, companies, and institutions that have made the organization of this event possible, highlighting that “it will be a great day for golf, with prizes for everyone, and a day of coexistence in which we hope to exceed 100 participants.”

Among the attractions of the tournament is a large auction for charity, featuring unique items such as a 3-wood signed by Sergio García and a wedge by Carlota Ciganda. Additionally, there is an option to register for the charity lunch for those who wish to contribute without participating in the game.

The funds raised will be entirely allocated to maintaining the services that the AECC offers to cancer patients and their families, such as “psychological care, social support, workshops for emotional and physical well-being, all free of charge for those in need,” explained the organization's representative, Belén Conejo, who thanked Silvia Barrionuevo for her commitment to launching the tournament.

On behalf of Mijas City Council, the Councilor for Tourism, Francisco Jerez, has emphasized the importance of joining efforts around causes that unite society: “The fight against cancer unites us all, without distinctions or ideologies. From the Mijas City Council, we understand that supporting the Spanish Association Against Cancer is to support hundreds of families in Mijas and all over Spain, who need hope, attention, and resources. We will always stand by those who work for the common good.”

From the City Council of Fuengirola, institutional support has also been conveyed for this charitable initiative, showing their commitment to the work carried out by the AECC and highlighting the importance of supporting such causes from all areas.

Thus, Jerez has confirmed that the Mijas City Council will be present at the tournament, showing their unconditional support. “We are very proud to be part of this charitable initiative, which demonstrates the power of collaboration between institutions, companies, and citizens,” he concluded.
