The Planeta Gran Canaria festival, promoted and funded by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and organized by Infecar, has shown its most charitable side in its opening days. The 23rd edition of the festival delivered the toys donated by attendees on Friday as part of the ‘+ Que Reyes’ campaign organized by Infecar in collaboration with the Casa de Galicia. Donating these toys to needy families during the festive and joyful holiday season is the goal.
“We have delivered the toys donated by the attendees of Planeta Gran Canaria, demonstrating the commitment of the people of Gran Canaria to the wonderful work carried out by the Casa de Galicia on the island,” emphasized Minerva Alonso, the Councilor for Economic Development, Industry, Commerce, and Crafts of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, on Friday. The councillor was welcomed at the Casa de Galicia by its president, Albino Aneiros, who expressed gratitude for the toy donations. Additionally, the island councillor encouraged all families to enjoy Planeta Gran Canaria, which will remain open until January 4, 2024.
