Mercè Solidarity
This year, the proceeds from race registrations will go entirely as a donation to Alzheimer Catalunya Fundació Open in a new window.
Alzheimer Catalunya Fundació accompanies, guides and supports people affected by Alzheimer's or other dementia and their entire caregiving environment, with the aim of ensuring that they always live with the maximum quality and dignity.
This action promotes the project of detecting, addressing and intervening in the abuse in vulnerable elderly people to ensure their physical, economic and social well-being and repair the damage the perpetrator has caused.
In addition to this organization, the solidarity aspect of the Cursa de la Mercè – Bimbo Global Race will also include Bimbo’s initiative to donate 20 slices of bread per participant to the Barcelona Food Bank. With this, the company is proud to contribute to an initiative that inspires the city to move for a good cause.
A LOT CAN BE DONE WITH LITTLE: “Your gesture is doubly important”
Picking up used white chips is an important environmental measure. That way, we prevent pollution from their components. Moreover, you are making a donation to Alzheimer Catalunya Fundació Open in a new window, which is both important and satisfying.
At the finish line, you can turn in the white chips, which will generate a contribution of €0.80 per chip.
White chip collection baskets will be provided at the finish line.
If you are ultimately unable to participate in the race, your white chip continues to hold its value. Do not throw it away. For one week after the race, you can still send it to us in person or by mail to:
Institut Barcelona Esports Av. de l'Estadi, 40 08038 Barcelona |
