A record sum of €9,850 was raised during an annual summer BBQ in aid of Id-Dar tal-Providenza in Siġġiewi. Organised by Pierre Vella Petroni, Anne Marie Xuereb and family, this home BBQ initiative started 15 years ago.
During the event, Mgr Martin Micallef, director of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, thanked the organisers, helpers, sponsors and the more than 120 relatives and friends who attended the fundraising activity and donated towards this noble cause. The sum collected will help the Home, which offers care to people with a disability and which requires €19,000 a day to cover running costs.
Pierre Vella Petroni and Anne Marie Xuereb said that this event wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable help of family and friends who lent a hand with the logistics and the cooking, as well as all those who attended and the companies who immediately accepted to help this worthy cause.
The main sponsors were: Prime Ltd, C. Camilleri & Sons, Ron Axisa, Welbees Naxxar, The General Soft Drinks Co. Ltd, Farsons Direct, Heir & Loom, Bristow Potteries, VCT (Malta) Ltd, Provita, Rausi and Co, Live Life Outdoor, Maypole Ltd and Gordon Portelli of Pitkali Malta.
