Lastly, on July 17, the Lyrical Gala ‘Zarzuela’ will be held at 8:00 p.m. at the Teatro Leal in La Laguna. Tickets can now be purchased at the box office or through the website Tickety.es
The objective of these initiatives is to raise funds to strengthen the social work of the Red Cross with the most disadvantaged groups in our society: children, the elderly, people in extreme vulnerability, women in social difficulties and the unemployed, among others.
Therefore, these actions represent an opportunity for the Red Cross to be where it is most needed. Vulnerability can be where there is an elderly person who feels alone, a woman who suffers gender violence, a boy or girl who does not have the resources to study, a refugee who flees violence and hunger in his country, a family who does not have hot water, a woman who does not have the same opportunities at work or all the people who suffer from a climate emergency.
Last year, the Organization attended 114,757 people in the Canary Islands, with whom a total of 588,152 interventions were carried out. Of these, 65.6% percent were assisted from the Social Inclusion area, especially people in situations of extreme vulnerability.
As previously mentioned, the participants will receive tickets for the Red Cross Gold Raffle that will be held on July 20, opting for more than 11,700 prizes valued at more than 7 million euros (3 million euros for the first prize; 1 million euros for the second prize; 500,000 euros for the third prize; 250,000 euros for the fourth prize; and 100,000 euros for the fifth prize).
