Music, solidarity and a special memory.
The appointment with the music of Certain lights you can't turn them off is back, the great charity event organized by the non-profit cultural association of the same name with the patronage of the Municipality and in collaboration with associations that deal with prevention and assistance to cancer patients.
Once again the event, which will be held in Cabras on Saturday 4 May, is organized in memory of Giacomo Meli, the young man from Cabras who died prematurely due to a serious form of pancreatic cancer. Presenter Davide Urgu will act as the star of the evening on the big music stage. The event will pass through the streets of the historic center with the long-awaited parade of masked groups and the sounds and clothes of the Sardinian tradition and will continue in Piazza Don Sturzo with the evening concert.
A magical event that combines celebration and charity in the name of solidarity. For the third edition of the event, the organizers have established a new important objective to be achieved through fundraising: in addition to the contribution that will be given to the partner associations, the proceeds will go to finance the project "A Camper for prevention", launched by Cagliari-based association Abbracciamo un Sogno, which consists in the purchase of a real mobile breast clinic, equipped with the latest generation mammography machine; a fundamental machine through which it will be possible to guarantee a preventive screening activity even in areas that do not have a mammography/breast clinic in the immediate vicinity or which, due to particular morphological conditions of the area, are less served by transport, facilitating the involvement of women to screening operations.
«We have returned with an even deeper motivation, which pushes us to an ever greater commitment so that the numbers of unfortunate diagnoses can finally decrease – states the president of the association Roberto Matta -. The way to achieve the objective is to do prevention, encouraging visits where it becomes more complicated to carry them out through the structures of the national health system. We therefore enthusiastically support the purchase of this mobile clinic and support all the associations that work during the event to spread the importance of screening. The light of James will shine again this year."
