Over 200 participants turned out on Sunday morning for the annual Pink Ladies and Panthers Santa Walk, one of Orihuela Costa’s most significant fundraising events. The 5k walk, organised by the Maria Pink Ladies and Panthers, in support of the AACC Cancer Charity, started and finished at Zenia Boulevard shopping centre.
Resplendent in their Santa Suits the Crazy Ladies entertained on the central stage while, as they arrived, walkers and members of the public donated to the charity through registration fees and additional contributions. Maria then took to the stage herself to thank attendees, while Simon Morton provided a live link to local radio station Sunshine FM, adding to the festive atmosphere.
As the Central Square at Zenia Boulevard buzzed with energy, supporters, most of them dressed in appropriate festive costumes, set off to walk behind Policia Local officers, many dancing and singing along to Christmas tunes.
Participants were also generous with their donations of food and toiletries, which were handed over to a charity supporting the homeless.
The Pink Ladies will announce the total funds raised once all donations are counted. Every contribution will be given to the AACC Cancer Charity, reinforcing the community’s strong support for local fundraising efforts and bringing festive cheer alongside a vital cause.
