Artists wear the pink October shirt
Celebrities help raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer and promote a charity cocktail in support of the Sharing and Care Association.
Names like Joana Balaguer, Marcello Antony, Úrsula Corona, Roberto Bomtempo, Miriam Freeland, and Susana Werner are stepping forward by wearing the pink October shirt to support this important cause. On the upcoming October 17th, Thursday, at Palacete Virtvs in Lisbon, a Solidarity Cocktail will be held by the Optimism Movement. The funds raised at this event will be donated to the Sharing and Care Association, which, for the past 10 years, has provided support to cancer patients in the Algarve, in Chaves, and more recently, in Lisbon and Cascais.
Palacete Virtvs is located at Rua Júlio de Andrade, 5, 1150-225, Lisbon, and the event will take place from 5 PM to 8 PM. Both the Palacete and Casa da Comida, which will be responsible for the buffet, have joined the Association as event partners and generously did not charge for their services. Participants can choose between two membership options: €70 (includes a T-shirt and a magic box) or €50, just for the cocktail. For those unable to attend, contributions of any amount to the Sharing and Care Association account (IBAN: PT50 0010 0000 51182960001 71) will be greatly appreciated.
ABOUT THE SHARING AND CARE ASSOCIATION
The Sharing and Care Association is a true beacon of support and solidarity for all those facing the tough journey of cancer. Founded in 2014 by Sandra Matinhos, after her battle against the disease at the age of 35, this initiative was born out of a desire to help others not feel alone in their struggle. Overcoming the difficult phase, Sandra transformed suffering into powerful life lessons, aligning with her purpose and mission.
Although the Association started in the Algarve, today it has expanded its strength to two other locations: Chaves and, for the past year, Lisbon/Cascais. In all these locations, it offers emotional and practical support, connecting people with cancer to support services and psycho-emotional guidance, helping each one find their balance through effective tools that assist them in the challenges of diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the Association organizes various activities and events to promote fundraising, food donations, and essential goods. It also focuses on social integration, providing support in various areas, from personal documentation and financial management to assistance in consultations, treatments, and hospitalizations. Psychological support and complementary therapies are also offered, promoting personal and educational enhancement.
