Sax cancer survivor raises €36,200 through Jacqueline’s Charity Shop
What started as one woman’s determination to help others after her own battle with cancer has now raised an incredible €36,200. Jacqueline Dale, founder of Jacqueline’s Charity Shop in Sax, celebrated the charity’s second anniversary with a fundraising evening that brought volunteers, supporters and friends together to mark two years of helping people affected by cancer.
Jacqueline’s Charity Shop celebrates second anniversary
Jacqueline Dale, founder of Jacqueline’s Charity Shop in Sax, celebrated the charity’s second anniversary on November 4 with a fundraising evening that saw €5,000 donated to various charities.
Jacqueline launched the shop after overcoming anaplastic lymphoma, wanting to give something back.
Two years later, her little idea has grown into two charity shops, with a wonderful team of volunteers and supporters helping to make it all possible.
The anniversary celebration at Restaurante Meson El Almendros brought everyone together for an evening of food, music and fundraising, with DJ Barry providing the entertainment.
And there was plenty to celebrate.
Two Sax charity shops support cancer causes
The original shop on Calle Hermanos Pinzon has now been joined by a second premises on Calle Reyes Catolicos, specialising in furniture.
Money raised through the shops and fundraising events goes towards supporting cancer charities and people affected by the disease.
The expansion from one shop to two reflects how much the project has grown since Jacqueline first decided to turn her own experience of cancer into an opportunity to help others.
Customers can support the charity through their purchases, while donations and the efforts of volunteers help keep the shops running.
Fundraising total reaches an incredible €36,200
For Jacqueline, the €36,200 total is about far more than money. It represents two years of kindness from customers, volunteers, local businesses and everyone who has donated.
The latest anniversary celebration added another milestone to the charity’s achievements, with €5,000 going to various charities.
Jacqueline said: “I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past two years, especially my family and our wonderful volunteers. We couldn’t have done any of this without you.”
From a single charity shop inspired by one woman’s recovery to a growing fundraising effort with two premises, Jacqueline’s project continues to turn second-hand treasures and community generosity into practical support for others.
Murder is on the menu in La Marina this November, but thankfully it is all in the name of a good cause. Local theatre group Stagestruck will challenge amateur detectives to solve its latest mystery at Cafeina Coffee & Cocktails, with the afternoon raising money to support DEBRA and its specialist nursing team.
Stagestruck brings murder mystery to La Marina
Cafeina Coffee & Cocktails will host an afternoon murder mystery on Thursday, November 19, performed by local theatre group Stagestruck.
The fun begins at 2:00 PM, when guests will be able to put their detective skills to the test and see if they can work out whodunnit.
The murder mystery promises an afternoon of clues, suspects and, no doubt, a few red herrings along the way as Stagestruck sets its latest mystery for the audience to solve.
€15 tickets include a light buffet
Tickets cost €15 per person and include a light buffet, with all money raised from the event going to DEBRA to help fund its nursing team.
As well as providing an afternoon of entertainment, the event will give people in La Marina an opportunity to support the charity’s work with families living with a rare and challenging genetic condition.
Tickets are available from Cafeina and the DEBRA Charity Shop in Urbanisation La Marina.
Fundraiser supports DEBRA nursing team
DEBRA supports people living with epidermolysis bullosa, commonly known as Butterfly Skin, a rare genetic condition which makes the skin extremely fragile.
Its specialist nurses provide support and advice to families affected by the condition across Spain.
Money raised through the murder mystery will help fund this nursing team, combining a community afternoon out with practical support for DEBRA’s work.
Amateur detectives invited to solve mystery
Cafeina Coffee & Cocktails can be found at Calle Luis de Gongora, Sector VI-VII, Local 43-44, La Marina.
With a light buffet included, guests will be able to settle in for an afternoon of suspects and clues while trying to uncover the culprit before the mystery is revealed.
