Castellers de Lleida raises €7,000 in Movember charity auction for biomedical research

Castellers de Lleida, in collaboration with the Lleida Biomedical Research Institute (IRBLleida) and Mr. Postu de Lleida, have raised €7,000 at the charity moustache auction organised as part of the Movember movement. The proceeds will go towards IRBLleida's biomedical research into men's health.

The event, held on 28 November at the Castellers de Lleida premises, is part of the 'Movember' initiative, a global movement that uses the moustache as a symbol to raise awareness about men's health. This initiative demonstrates how creativity and solidarity can come together to support important causes such as cancer research and the promotion of men's health. Castellers de Lleida thus shows its commitment to this cause, reaffirming the values of mutual aid and solidarity that characterise them.

The auction featured collaborating entities, thanks to which prizes were awarded in different categories: person who made the highest bid; person who paid the most bids; most original moustache; moustache with the highest bid.
