The Elena Gaite Foundation was created with the purpose of promoting various solidarity actions in order to raise funds for different social organizations and NGOs, whose main purpose is to support relatives and patients with different diseases such as cancer or rare diseases.
Likewise, the Foundation has among its objectives the dissemination of the activities of said social organizations and NGOs, such as the Cudeca Foundation (Palliative Care), Debra Piel de Mariposa and Avoi (Childhood Cancer) and to obtain professional and economic support for their projects of help, palliative care and assistance to cancer patients and their families.
To achieve its objectives, the Foundation will use the figure of Elena Gaite as a visible image of the various actions that are carried out due to her character as a symbol of the fight against disease, of the good spirit she always had in the face of setbacks and in recognition of Cudeca for the work of supporting Elena and her family during her last months.
Elena kept the smile that characterized her until the last day of her existence and the energy that she transmitted to her environment, family and friends should serve as the engine and impulse to develop the activities of the Foundation and achieve the greatest possible success in achieving its goals.
Elena’s family gives their express consent for the use of her image as the symbol of the Foundation, of the products that can be marketed to obtain funds for the fulfillment of the purposes, and of the different events for the promotion and dissemination of the social organizations with which the Elena Gaite Foundation participates.
