On the 19th<\/sup> of June we were pleased to hold a special event at the Embassy of Spain: The Awards Ceremony of the Charity Tennis & Padel Tournament<\/strong>. Following on from the tournament that had just taken place, this cocktail reception was the perfect occasion to announce and award the prizes of the winning teams. As guests who had taken part in the tournament as well as those from companies which had made generous donations met and caught up with each other they were able to enjoy delicious ham from 5 Jotas and a selection of artisan Spanish cheeses from Hispania; members of the Spanish Chamber. Wines from our Patrons Codorn\u00edu Ravent\u00f3s were also being served for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n

But it was not all about sports- the main purpose of this event was to fundraise for the Fundaci\u00f3n Mario Losantos del Campo<\/strong> (FMLC, www.fundacionmlc.org<\/a>), which provides support for those in developing counties going through a grief process. This organisation was created in 2000 by the Losantos Ucha family and since then they have undertaken support projects in countries including Spain, the Dominican Republic, Mozambique, Kenya and Bolivia, working to improve the quality of life of people around the globe.<\/p>\n

Beginning at 6:30pm on a warm summer\u2019s evening, the reception took place in the cool and leafy foyer area of the Embassy which is located in Belgravia. Following the arrival drinks and a speech from representatives from the Losantos family, the highly anticipated charity raffle prize draw took place. Many of the hopeful ticket holders were already dreaming about the incredible prizes:<\/p>\n
