In a resounding show of generosity, Malta’s largest annual fundraising event, L-Istrina, concluded with a remarkable total of €5.27 million collected on Boxing Day. This achievement marked a significant increase from the previous year’s collection of €5,062,415, highlighting the unwavering support of the Maltese community for charitable causes.
L-Istrina, once again brought together a diverse group of individuals, including local personalities, business owners, and politicians, who actively participated in encouraging donations. President George Vella and Mrs. Vella were actively involved as part of the phone line team, personally receiving calls and cheques from generous donors.
The success of this year’s fundraising effort was not only attributed to individual contributions but also showcased the collaborative spirit of the community. Noteworthy contributions included €155,000 from consumers participating in the BCRS bottle recycling campaign, €233,615 generated from the MCCFF’s Rockestra event, €200,000 from Bank of Valletta, and €53,700 from the L-Istrina BOV Piggy Bank Campaign.
The diverse range of fundraising initiatives demonstrates the creativity and dedication of both the organisers and the community, proving that collective efforts can make a substantial impact in supporting those in need. The funds raised during L-Istrina will undoubtedly contribute to the vital work of the MCCFF in providing assistance and relief to individuals and families facing challenges in Malta.
