SOLIDARITY DINNER

An initiative of the Elena Torres Association that unites gastronomy and solidarity to advance the fight against cancer.

The organization is promoting a charity dinner with a special menu to raise funds to continue financing its cancer early detection project, a pioneering research project that is progressing with promising results.

The Elena Torres Association is once again mobilizing Ibizan society with a new solidarity initiative that combines gastronomy and social commitment to continue supporting research aimed at achieving early detection of cancer. The entity organizes a charity dinner that will take place on Saturday, November 29 at 8.30 pm at the restaurant Celler de Can Pere, located in Santa Eulària des Riu. The event aims to raise funds for the scientific project that the association has been funding since 2015 and which is led by CSIC researcher Priscila Monteiro Kosaka.

A special menu to add up against cancer

The gastronomic proposal served during this evening of solidarity includes a Christmas soup as a starter, a round of beef or pork with grilled vegetables as a main course and a greixonera with vanilla ice cream and caleta coffee as dessert. The donation price is 75 euros, drinks included, and all profits will go entirely to research. Reservations can be made by calling +34 649 43 50 21 or +34 650 22 41 05.

An event that reinforces social commitment

This charity dinner adds to the calendar of actions that the Elena Torres Association promotes every year to raise awareness and funds. Recently, the entity managed to raise 900 euros thanks to the Pink October campaign, aimed at raising awareness of breast cancer. Once again, neighbors, companies and volunteers come together to support a project that could transform the future of cancer diagnosis.

Research with Ibizan seal and international recognition

The project funded by the association is based on a proprietary technology of nanosensors and biotechnology, developed by Monteiro Kosaka, capable of detecting tumor markers at very early stages through a simple blood test. The research is currently in its fourth phase, carrying out proofs of concept with real samples from Spanish hospitals. Its innovative potential has been recognized with the prestigious Fero Grant, one of the most important awards in the oncology field.
