Magic and solidarity meeting with Father Christmas at Plaza Río 2

Encuentro mágico y solidario con Papá Noel en Plaza Río 2

During this Christmas, the little ones in the house will be able to visit Santa Claus’s house, take photos and hand in their wish list at the Plaza Río 2 Shopping Center in Madrid. Everyone who attends will be able to take home a beautiful souvenir completely free of a personalized calendar with their photo. Furthermore, anyone who wishes can make this calendar 100% charitable by collaborating with a voluntary donation in favor of the Aladina Foundation.

Thank you very much to Santa Claus and the Plaza Río 2 Shopping Center for carrying out such a beautiful initiative on our behalf to help us ensure that no child with cancer ever loses their smile.
