Four hampers for four winners
Our congratulations go to the four hamper winners in this tenth edition of the draw:
Previous editions
The first edition of the Panera Solidària raised €1,838, which went to a project created and managed by the UB Solidarity Foundation for social and labour insertion and the promotion of interculturality through urban and local agriculture, aimed at young people aged 18 to 25 from the Besós and Barcelonès Nord areas. Specifically, the money was used to launch a pre-employment integration initiative with fifteen young people from Santa Coloma de Gramenet at high risk of social exclusion, through training in vegetable gardening in urban areas.
The second edition of the draw raised €4,274, which went to La Marató de TV3, dedicated to stroke and spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. This money was used to fund biomedical research projects of excellence selected by the foundation that organizes La Marató.
One year later, the third edition raised €4,684, which went to the Hospital Amic programme of the Obra Social de Sant Joan de Déu. This money was used to improve quality of life in the experience of hospitalized children through various activities, including visits by clowns, art therapy and graphite drawing workshops, music therapy and singing workshops, activities led by volunteers of different kinds and dog-assisted therapy.
The fourth edition of the Panera Solidària raised €5,314, which also went to the Obra Social de Sant Joan de Déu, specifically to a project to improve the diagnosis and rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. The main objective of the project was to create a platform to support the cognitive diagnosis of patients with motor disorders.
