A charity golf tournament in Mijas raises over 17,000 euros for the fight against cancer

The 'Golf Tournament for Life' in Mijas has raised over 17,000 euros to be allocated to cancer research and care programs, an event that saw the participation of more than a hundred players, as reported this Monday by the city's Tourism Councilor, Francisco Jerez.

This was highlighted by the councilor after the tournament held last weekend, organized by the local branch of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) in collaboration with La Cala Resort.

Jerez praised the event, stating that it “demonstrates how sports, tourism, and solidarity can go hand in hand, once again showing Mijas' commitment to good causes.”

The event successfully raised over 17,000 euros that will go towards research and care programs for patients and families affected by this disease.

He also thanked “the tireless work carried out by the AECC and its team, both in research and in patient and family care, an essential task that deserves all our support and recognition.”

“It is a pride that Mijas has been part of this charitable event, where we have collaborated not only as an institution but also as neighbors committed to a cause that affects us all closely,” he remarked.

Furthermore, Jerez emphasized that “Mijas continues to bet on golf as a driving force for tourism and economic growth. This is evidenced by the great reception of this event, along with other high-level events we host, which help to boost the local economy and strengthen our position as a quality destination.”

The event also highlighted the facilities of La Cala Resort, which hosted this event with the support of the business and social community linked to this sport.
