During the past Christmas season, a group of ALSA employees took the initiative to organize a corporate volunteer solidarity action, which consisted of holding a raffle of gifts, for which the generous collaboration of various suppliers was counted on. The raffle was very well received among the employees of the different ALSA work centers and, thanks to their solidarity, 2,272 euros were raised in ticket sales. The company's management pledged to also support this action, facilitating all support for this solidarity initiative of the employees, doubling the amount raised by them, which has reached a total of 4,272 euros.

The president of the Aladina Foundation, Paco Arango, thanked this collaboration: “We are happy to have such supportive and generous friends. Childhood cancer is a terrible enemy for Aladina and the support of employees of companies like ALSA helps us fight it with more strength.”

For the CEO of ALSA, Francisco Iglesias, this corporate volunteer action "is a great example of the Corporate Responsibility actions in favor of the Community carried out by the employees of our company, in this case, in favor of children and youth, supporting the magnificent work carried out by the Aladina Foundation in its fight against the effects of childhood cancer."
