Metropolitan House Foundation collaborates with OncoGravel, a sports and solidarity challenge
Last November 4th, the Foundation participated in the first edition of OncoGravel, a sporting and charitable challenge, aimed at lovers of gravel bikes, to raise funds for the assistance of people suffering from cancer.
On Saturday, November 4th, Metropolitan House Foundation, together with the Unió Ciclista les Franqueses (UCF), participated in the OncoGravel cycling march, organized by the Oncolliga Girona Foundation as part of the Palamós Outdoor Sports Festival.
The first edition of OncoGravel was a great success both in terms of participation, with 49 teams registered and a total of 270 participants, and in terms of fundraising, with €35,093.46 collected.
