The A. Bosch Foundation will allocate the money in the research lines leaded by Dr. Sánchez de Toledo

The Catalan band ‘ "http://www.elsamicsdelesarts.cat/2014/12/13/40-000-gracies-amics/" Els amics de les Arts’ has raised 40 thousand Euros in two benefit concerts organized by Albert Bosch Foundation in order to contribute to child cancer research in Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), group headed by "http://www.vhir.org/larecerca/grupsrecerca/ca_grups_equip.asp?area=1&grup=20&mh1=2&mh2=1&mh3=1&mv1=2&mv2=1&menu=3&Idioma=en" Dr. Sánchez de Toledo. The group threw its second and last benefit concert last Thursday in Sant Cugat’s Teatre-Auditori. They also had some friends joining them on stage, such as Joan Dausà, Roger Mas, Cybee, Els Catarres, Blaumut and Mamzelles. Els amics de les Arts have thanked trough their web the unselfish collaboration they have received saying “all the work that means organizing this kind of concert pays off when you find yourself on stage singing someone else’s song that you love, or when you hear one of your songs but with a voice that’s not your own, or when your fingers are literally trembling accompanying someone who has written songs that are very important for you”. VHIR’s researchers were invited by the band to this second concert which was full of emotion and complicity between the band and the invited musicians. The first benefit concert was in Olot, at Braus Square, where the band presented its new album ‘Només d’entrar hi ha sempre el dinosaure’.All the money raised during the concerts will go to the three research lines of VHIR’s Translational Research in Child Cancer Group, with whom Foundation A. Bosch is collaborating in order to get better diagnosis and therapies.Foundation A. Bosch was created in 2004 by "http://www.noel.es/en/social-responsibility/a-bosch-foundation/" Noel Alimentària, with the aim of promoting medical research for child diseases and lupus.
