FUNDRAISER
Although more than 10 years have passed since its foundation, all of us at ADJ are amazed by the amount of people and companies that have made possible so many fundraising events in support of the different projects we have conceived and that we have managed to carry out. It would be really impossible to thank them one by one. On this page we want to represent only the most significant events for organizational complexity, originality and success of participation.
Once again, thank you very much, forever.
