Olazábal & Nadal Charity Golf Tournament and Cuixot
Cuixot de Porc Negre has participated in the 5th charity tournament that Rafael Nadal and José María Olázabal have been jointly promoting since 2013 and which is held annually in Mallorca. All the proceeds from this Pro-Am go to charity projects, both of the Rafa Nadal Foundation and the Sport Mundi Foundation -the Foundation chaired by José María Olázabal-, with the aim of fighting against social exclusion.
In addition to the two Prince of Asturias Award-winning sportsmen and women, top-level professional golfers are taking part in the tournament, forming two teams captained by Nadal and Olázabal respectively. Carlota Ciganda, Gonzalo Fernández Castaño, Álvaro Quirós, Alejandro Cañizares and Eduardo de la Riva are some of the golfers who have taken part in the event.
There, the best shots on the green will be translated into funds for projects aimed at the most vulnerable population, through the foundations of the two sportsmen, the Rafa Nadal Foundation (www.fundacionrafanadal.org) and the Sport Mundi Foundation (www.sport-mundi.org) of José María Olazábal.
The funds raised this year will go to the work of UNHCR with refugees through Sport Mundi, while the Rafa Nadal Foundation will allocate these funds to its More than Tennis project, aimed at young people with intellectual disabilities, which currently has 18 schools in Spain.
In the four previous editions, a total of 500,000 euros was raised, which was earmarked for social projects, such as the Rafa Nadal Foundation Centre in Palma de Mallorca, where an educational project is being developed to complement school education for children living in disadvantaged situations; dining room grants for families in need; shelters through Caritas; and initiatives against human trafficking that Ayuda en Acción is developing in Nepal, among others.
In the Olazabal&Nadal Invitational by Pula Golf Resort, world-renowned chefs will also play a fundamental role, contributing their creations in the kitchen to the charity cause. In this edition it will be the Mallorcan Macarena de Castro and the Galician Luis Veira, both Michelin Star, as well as the renowned Santi Taura and the German Frank Rosin who will star in the culinary side of the tournament.
Cuixot has presented and awarded the winners with its second vintage of Porc Negre Mallorquín ham - Cuixot.
