Today, Sonrisa Médica presented its programme for the “Red Nose Day” festival at the Port of Palma, which it has organised to mark the 20th anniversary of this pioneering non-profit association, whose objective is to transform hospital environments through comedy.
According to Sonrisa Médica’s Director of Events, Projects, and Awareness, Fanny Guerrero, the “Red Nose Day” is a way of thanking the people of the Balearic Islands for their support over the last 20 years. To this end, Sonrisa Médica has organised a series of activities, workshops, and musical performances for the entire family from 10.00-20.00 on Sunday 8th June, in the main car park on the Camino de la Escollera, at the Port of Palma. Entry is a five-euro donation for adults, which will be spent entirely on funding Sonrisa Médica.
The APB Chairman, Alberto Pons, praised the magnificent work that Sonrisa Médica does with patients in Majorca’s hospitals, and declared that he is delighted to help out by letting the organisation use this area at the Port of Palma to hold the first “Red Nose Day”. Pons also added that he hoped “that after this first festival, there will be many more to come until it becomes a firm fixture on the calendar”.
The presentation was attended by Antonio Carmona, from the Palma City Council, Inma de Benito, from the Majorca Hotel Federation, and Simone Luca, from Grupo Juaneda, all of whom work with Sonrisa Médica, and by Aspirino the Clown, who invited everybody to come along to the “Red Nose Day” on Sunday.
