dise, creating a perfect atmosphere to wrap up summer. Best of all? Spectator tickets were free, encouraging everyone to join in the fun. Thanks to the collaboration between Sarja Microsanctuary and the Todo Ayuda Project, the event raised an impressive €1,776.32 to support the sanctuary’s many and varied residents. Attendees
