ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION APU PABLO UGARTE
It is the association that contributes more money in Spain to fight against childhood cancer, contributing more than half a million euros a year.
All that money is thanks to the contributions of its 2,239 members.
Through the events they organize for them: tournaments, street markets, etc., the association helps twenty-one research teams to help in the fight against childhood cancer.
The association was born seven years ago when he died with the boy Pablo Uguarte with only ten years old, who suffered bone cancer for almost two and a half years.
The association was created to support and help cancer research, mainly cancer of children.
It also helps and collaborates in any way with the children (and their families) who suffer from this terrible disease.
One of the ways that the APU has to raise funds later destined, in its totality, to the investigation to fight the infantile cancer, is the organization of events of very different types as it can be this championship of padel.
