The solidarity march helps countless causes
The project was born from the union of two AMPAs (CC Fuenteblanca and CEIP Ntra. Mrs. De Belén) in 2014, with the aim of being able to help different and varied causes, but also in order to sensitize and instill values ​​of solidarity from the childhood.
To date, there have been 5 marches in which 7 associations have benefited, with a collection of 20,000 euros and 3,000 kg of food.
Every year a different association is invited, since the March is not aimed at a single group, but aims to help different needs.
From 2014 to this year 2020, they have benefited: Vicente Ferrer Foundation, Ainara Soldiers Association (Cach sick), Ambulance of Desire, Red Cross Murcia, Afacmur (children with cancer), All Heart Association (congenital heart disease), Cáritas Santiago and Zaraiche.
