Algorfa in brief: Charity quiz, Christmas appeal and country music fundraiser

Algorfa residents have several chances to support local charities over the coming months. First, the Movers and Shakers Association will host a charity quiz night at Silverstones Bistro Bar in Montebello on Saturday, October 24. The Fun Quiz Night aims to raise funds for the Association of Movers and Shakers Costa Blanca, which helps people with neurological conditions such as Huntington's disease, motor neurone disease, and Parkinson's disease.

Tickets are €15 and include fish and chips, as well as participation in the quiz. Teams should book tables of six, but individuals can contact the organizers for availability.

Secondly, Hotel Algorfa is organizing a Christmas collection to support children at the San Jose Obrero children's home. The hotel is soliciting donations of new clothing and toiletries, with suggested items including tops, trousers, jumpers, jackets, and shoes. Donors should contact the hotel before purchasing items to ensure donations are well-targeted. The Christmas collection will run until Friday, December 18.

Finally, country music lovers can attend a fundraiser at Silverstones 2023 in Montebello on Saturday, November 21. The Enthusiasticals, a country music band, will perform for A Helping Hand Costa Blanca, a volunteer-run charity providing assistance to people facing hardship in Torrevieja and surrounding areas. The event will feature a full program of country music, with tickets priced at €5 per person.

Proceeds from ticket sales and a charity raffle will go directly to the charity. A fish and chips supper, including garden peas, bread, and butter, is available for an additional €7.50. Tickets can be purchased directly from The Enthusiasticals or at Silverstones.
