Charity Christmas Party at Plaza Blanca
Plaza Blanca is a collection of independent cafe bars, restaurants, offices & boutiques located in the heart of Sotogrande Costa, behind Paniagua Gallerias. On Saturday 7th December they are coming together to celebrate the start of the festive season and raise money for two excellent causes.
There are lots of fantastic activities taking place between 11.00 and 14.00, including a visit from Santa Claus, Festive Fun Run, Christmas Carol Concert, raffle and auction and delicious Christmas foods and drinks to enjoy. All proceeds of this event will be split between Centro Contigo Children’s Charity and Apoyo Mutuo San Roque, supporting minors and families in need in San Roque and La Linea.
Get active for a great cause at 11am by taking on a 5KM run or walk in your Santa hat or Christmas jumper. Meet at Feathers Fitness in Plaza Blanca and take part, for a €10 donation to the charity.
At 12.00 the Sotogrande International School Choir will be singing carols in the central square of Plaza Blanca. There will also be hot chocolate, mince pies and mulled wine to purchase, with all proceeds going to the charities. Father Christmas will also be visiting Plaza Blanca with some presents for the little ones.
At 13.00 there will be an auction and the drawing of the raffle, with some excellent prizes to be won, or bid for. Auction items include; a two-night stay in Brooks Hotel Bath UK and a two-night stay in the Sunborn Hotel Gibraltar, a Moke experience from the Jolly Mile, a painting donated by White Square Gallery and a month’s membership of Feathers Fitness in Plaza Blanca. Raffle prizes include; a raffia bag, paddle tennis lessons with local coaches, ceramics, flowers and Gift Vouchers for local shops Cocoon and Vinopolis and more.
The aim is to raise at least €1,000 for each charity and everyone is welcome to enjoy the day and play their part in helping those less fortunate in the local area. The money raised for Centro Contigo will be used to purchase Christmas presents for the fifty children in the centre and put a smile on their faces for Three Kings.
