The presidents of both entities have recalled the importance of this alliance, which is celebrating its centenary under the motto “100 years of no loneliness, 100 years of being where it belongs.” An alliance that represents a valuable contribution to reaching the nearly 3 million people that the Spanish Red Cross served last year in our country, of which 1 million were served thanks to the collaboration of Lotteries.

The president of Loterías, Jesús Huerta, highlighted that “the common path that we have walked together hand in hand since 1924 has allowed us to contribute our grain of sand so that citizens can progress with equal opportunities.” Furthermore, he stressed that the importance of this alliance lies in the fact that “we develop our activity with concrete programs that reach citizens and really help them.” “Each and every one of the people we have accompanied throughout these 100 years gives meaning to this collaboration and is the reason to continue working for a more just and equal society,” he concluded.

Lotteries For her part, the president of the Red Cross, María del Mar Pageo Giménez, declared: “The true value of this collaboration lies in its ability to transform lives.
