Organizing a corporate event and turning it into a charitable event allows motivation and engagement at the same time from your team and other stakeholders. Fairs, conferences, celebrations, incentive stock... are likely to be linked with the concept of solidarity in alliance with the fight against leukemia. Many companies have already worked with us, please call us and tell us about your idea! Here are some examples:

• Barclays Bank organized a charity gymkhana event with the participation of more than 50 executives based in the Catalan and Balears offices. Each participant offered their financial support by making a donation when they signed up and this was duplicated by the Barclays Foundation.
• The restaurant El Merendero de la Mari has organized several paddle tennis tournaments.

• As part of its European Director Generals meeting in 2010, the pharmaceutical company Sanofi Aventis made a donation to the José Carreras Foundation against Leukaemia, as a demonstration of their commitment to scientific research and the improvement of the health and quality of life of patients.

In addition, the Foundation can offer some gift suggestions that solidarity, embodied in a virtual or physical personalized card, you give as a gesture of solidarity in the fight against leukemia to your employees or customers. Some ideas: 

• One week in an apartment for patients and their family 250 €: Many patients have to undergo a long treatment for leukemia far from their home. It is very hard and they need their family by their side. So the foundation offers appartments for leukemia patients and their families and your company can help us to continue offering this service.
• One day researching for leukamia 100 €: Leukemia affects 5,000 people a year in our country. The cure rates have improved but we still keep losing patients. For leukemia to become a curable disease for everyone and in all cases we have to investigate further. Let it know to your colleagues.
