The goal in México was to reach $1,200,000.00 pesos, so that Fundación Dolphin Discovery I.A.P. could give help to the benefited foundations, kids with cancer, attention to the elderly regarding diet, integration to the social environment, clothing, and health support; as well as providing help to pregnant women in a vulnerable situation, kids in street situation and abandonment, scholarships to children of scarce resources, and to provide environmental education to elementary students.

“We are happy to announce that this year the response of the guests was very positive and similar to previous years. This was because people cared about carrying out the activities besides spending time with their families, and as a consequence of this, the vulnerable groups are benefited”
