The We Are One event in the Stadium
of
the RCD Espanyol
In June 2014, Invest for Children held a fund raising event the
“We Are One” Charitable 7-A-Side Football Championship in the
Stadium of the RCD Espanyol in Barcelona. Each company had
a team, who played against each other during the morning. At
the end, the winning team of the championship played a game
against a team of former RCD Espanyol football players. The
prize giving took place during a gala dinner on the same evening
with attendance from more than 900 people. During the dinner,
there were several performances carried out by artists from
PortAventura.
In additon a raffle was conducted by the Spanish actor Santi
Millán. We are grateful of the support from the following
sponsors:
