Overview

• The Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (AECC) is holding its annual Día de la Cuestación from May 7–9, deploying volunteers across Spain to collect donations via physical huchas and digital platforms like Bizum.
• In Málaga alone, more than 200 collection tables have been set up with support from local government and civic organizations, while other provinces like Álava, Ourense, and A Coruña have seen similar efforts.
• Funds raised will support cancer research, patient services, and prevention programs, with a national goal of increasing five-year cancer survival rates to over 70% by 2030.
• The AECC has committed over €115 million to oncology research nationally, with regional chapters like Málaga and Álava funding local projects and predoctoral grants for researchers.
• The campaign also highlights the AECC’s free 24/7 support services, including a toll-free phone line and online consultations, which assist patients and families year-round.
