During the fourth edition of The 80s and 90s Music Festival, which took place on Friday 21st June in the streets of Kirkop, Ghaqda Muzikali San Leonardu raised €2,840 in aid of Inspire.
Inspire believes that everyone has a right to equality and inclusion and works with children and adults with disabilities as well as their families to help them achieve this.
Over the years, the festival has raised more than €9,000. Four years ago this event started to commemorate the 10th anniversary since the setting up of the youths' section within Ghaqda Muzikali San Leonardo. The festival had the participation of Maltese local DJs Renato Vella and Alex Reflex Grech, together with a German tribute band, Modern Talking Reloaded and was organised by Ghaqda Muzikali San Leonardu which is responsible to organise traditional festivities in honour of its Patron Saint Leonard.
"Organising this event in aid of Inspire is extremely satisfying. It's not easy with expenses constantly on the rise, but I am extremely proud that over the past four years it became part of our yearly calendar and that attendance keeps growing. This means that donations that are collected at the door by Inspire's volunteers also keep growing so we can keep helping Inspire year after year. I am hopeful that in the coming years the festival will keep going from strength to strength," said Louis Zammit, President Ghaqda Muzikali San Leonardo.
Inspire's Fundraising Executive, Ms. Therese Bonnici added, "we truly enjoy collaborating with the young members of this band club, who despite being volunteers themselves, find the time to help Inspire Foundation. Their dedication and commitment are praise-worthy and we are extremely grateful for their support towards the foundation."
