PVRPV Rentals, Gary Green (it was his great idea) and the Bomberos City Fire Department helped organize the event with a visit from Vallarta's Director of Tourism Carlos Gerrard.
The event took place in Los Muertos Beach on the new world famous pier.
Preliminary count of funds raised show over 10,000 pesos, thanks to Rolando Villaseñor Garcia and Debbi Brolin Egan for doing such an amazing time with the 50/50 and Margaret Souder for donating back 50% of her winnings. Philippa Vernon Powell, thank you for accepting all the donations and please also thank your friend for volunteering. Also thanks Colette Zarry for donating part of your sales back.
In addition to providing awareness at the Ice Bucket Challenge, participants were encouraged to support the cause. Funds will be donated to Familiares y Amigos de Enfermos de la Neurona Motora AC. The 35-year-old Mexico City-based non-profit is dedicated to the research and promotion of opportunities for patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The organization funds research as well as patient therapy and psychological treatment. They disseminate information about the disease to public, private and medical schools as well as provide health care professionals. For more information on the organization, visit FYADENMAC online.
