Pink Ladies Raise €1,580 at Breast Cancer Awareness Event

On Saturday, 17 October, Maria Wilson and the Pink Ladies hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness event at Zenia Boulevard, raising €1,580 for the AACC. Despite a forecast of rain and thunderstorms, the organisers proceeded with the event, which took place during International Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The show, hosted by Nik Smith of Sunshine FM in place of Simon Moreton, featured a lineup of talented performers, including Gwen and her Zumba group, Lee David, Toni Ann, Alex Tipping, Georgia Baie, Mark Andrews (accompanied by a David Bowie tribute act), and Valentina. The event concluded with a performance by the Raquel Peña dancers just before the rain arrived.

Zenia Boulevard's management contributed €500 to the fundraising total, bringing the total amount raised to €1,580. The money will support the AACC's work, including its early-detection programme. Maria Wilson expressed her gratitude to the entertainers for donating their time and to the Boulevard's management, Sunshine Radio, and the Pink Ladies, whose members dedicate their efforts to fighting cancer and raising awareness throughout the year.

She also thanked the Orihuela Costa community for their generous donations, which contributed to the event's success.

The annual event combined live entertainment with a vital message about the importance of breast cancer awareness and early detection. Despite the uncertain weather, the Pink Ladies' fundraiser once again received strong support from the local community.
