- Thank you Banderas Bay!
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – An enthusiastic and bi-cultural crowd of over 250 supporters came out to support CALIDAD de VIDA’s first official fundraiser held on Sunday, April 18th at the beautiful Casa Isabel.
Hosted by owner Isabel Manore and lead by CALIDAD de VIDA’s cross-cultural board, over $110,000 Pesos was raised to support CALIDAD de VIDA’s efforts to offer hospice and palliative care to all people in and around Banderas Bay who have a life threatening illness.
This fun-filled event included hors d'oeuvres, desserts, an open bar, wandering live music on multiple levels and a wide array of silent auction items donated from individuals and companies across Banderas Bay.
