Nuestras Causas, the social responsibility vehicle driven by SingularBeacon, organized a charity gala last February 4 in commemoration of World Cancer Day. The evening, which took place at the Hotel Elba Alcalá, was a success thanks to the involvement of the attendees and collaborators who supported this cause in aid of the Spanish Association Against Cancer and made it possible to raise a total of €8,755, which will be topped up by SingularBeacon until reaching the goal of €10,000.
The event began with a cocktail courtesy of the Hotel Elba, where the attendees enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere in which they shared experiences.

After the signing of the guest book, the speeches followed, which were deep and moving. Javier Pascual, Honorary Chairman of SingularBeacon, gave a welcome that touched the hearts of the attendees. Elisa Cuadrado, representing the Spanish Association Against Cancer, invited us to reflect on the association's work and the importance of this type of action, and Eduardo Collazo, Scientific Director of the La Paz University Hospital Research Institute, filled us with hope with the scientific advances and the importance of research in fighting this disease.

After the performance, a charity raffle of three experiences was held, with high participation.

Carlos Pascual closed the dinner with a moving speech in which he explained the reasons that led him to launch the platform Nuestras Causas and this Cause (Charity Gala Against Cancer) in particular, raising a toast to all those who, in one way or another, feel close to this disease.

After this, the stage was given to the group Ailtizam, made up of Paula Houzé, Gonzalo Arderíus and Alberto Élez, who delighted us with a magnificent flamenco show in what would be one of the most charming moments of the night. The passion and art, combined with the lighting and sound work by EM Eventos, managed to captivate and move the attendees.
The final dance was the perfect finale to a moving evening. The group Ailtizam continued the show with a rumba class, and the disco, courtesy of DJ Avo, kept the guests dancing late into the night.
