STAGESTRUCK DRAMA GROUP DONATE 1412 EUROS TO AFA TORREVIEJA

The Stagestruck Drama group ended a three night run on Saturday, at the Beluga Theatre in San Fulgencio and donated the proceedings to AFA Torrevieja.

The photo shows Stella ( the author, director, producer and general factotem of the company,) handing Matilde Sanchez, President of AFA Torrevieja, the cheque for 1200 Euros, proceeds from the ticket sales and an additional bonus of 212 Euros being the proceeds from the nights' raffle won by ticket number 93, a lady member of the audience.

Matilde, President of the Alzheimer's Association of Torrevieja and Judy Ferris the Treasurer, both said how absolutely delighted they were with such a generous donation. This help towards the ongoing effort of their Day Center's struggle to cope with the ever increasing demand for care and support of patients with dementia was truly gratefully received.

When Matilde presented Stella with the AFA certificate of appreciation, Stella was delighted as she, with humor, said that she had never received a certificate before.

Thank you to Stagestruck, and a special thank you to the audience for supporting both the group and the Alzheimer's Association of Torrevieja (who actually cover the whole of the Puma 22 area albeit from their base in Torrevieja, hence their title).
We would like to thank all those who supported us over the 3 day event.

AFA Alzheimer’s Association Torrevieja is available for advice and support. We rely on voluntary donations to continue our vital work in our day center and now have a “Buy a Brick” campaign to raise money to build a much needed residential care home for sufferers.

If you need help or advice, or feel you can contribute, call at the AFA shop in Calle Maestro Francisco Valejos in Torrevieja, the AFA Centre in Avenida de La Estacion or by calling Matilde Sanchez on 647119991 or Judy Ferris on 610082593. Email: [email protected]

Torrevieja

Congratulations on raising such a splendid sum for AFA! We in Dramatic Licence have always supported AFA - but the council in SF now insist that in return for giving us the theatre for free we must donate to their own local Alzheimer's society. I would be very grateful if you could PM me on [email protected] if you have found a way round this, as historically AFA Torrevieja has always been our chosen charity.
