Thanks to The Pasqual Maragall Foundation in collaboration with FC Barcelona Foundation and  Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol Foundation, the 24th match of La Liga between FC Barcelona-RCD Espanyol will be devoted to make aware of the fight against the Alzheimer and other neurodegenerative related diseases.

The action also expects to collect funds for the research on this disease and for the support and guidance of Alzheimer’s ills and their relatives. The obtained income will be used for the scientific Project of the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, for the Barcelona Alzheimer’s Relatives Association and the Catalonia Alzheimer foundation. All those interested can do their contributions through the telephone number 902 33 15 33 or at the website www.derbisolidari.cat
The actions carried out at the pitch will be: the showing of a promotional video on the scoreboard of the field, the honor kickoff of the match done by Pasqual Maragall and the photo of all the players together behind a banner with the slogan “Everybody plays against the Alzheimer”. Thanks to the collaboration of producers, presenters and journalists, the broadcasting through the radio and the television will complete and amplify the importance of the action.
The aim of the three foundations is to get this collaboration continuous and to organize other actions together in the future. Therefore, the day of the match will be held a lunch between representatives of the Foundations. Among them, their presidents, Pasqual Maragall, Joan Laporta and Daniel Sánchez Llibre, and their respective Directors, Jordi Camí, Marta Segú and Javier Sáenz.
