Last 22 December the Bomba Navarro Barcelona Supporters� Club in Tenerife ran the fifth edition of its �A Present, A Smile� charity project. Members of the club handed out Bar�a-based presents to children in the Canary Islands University Hospital.

The project was started up five years ago and since then Johnny G�mez, chair of the Bomba Navarro Supporters’ Club, and his board have brought a smile to many kids’ faces as club members go to Joel_y_Daniela_Acosta_Barroso_-_2_axos._x7x.JPG

hospitals around the Canary Islands and hand out Bar�a Christmas gifts.

Last Monday 22 December a group went to the children’s ward at the Canary Islands University Hospital, where lots of ill kids had an unforgettable day thanks to the Bar�a supporters’ club.

Major partners

FC Barcelona, newspapers Sport and Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish Basketball Federation, Tenerife Rural Basketball and the CB Socas Canarias basketball club partnered this great initiative which is growing by the year.

With this kind of project Bar�a supporters’ clubs are working along the same lines as the club itself in terms of charity. Indeed, ever since Bar�a signed its agreement with UNICEF many Bar�a associations have started up their own solidarity projects, showing that both the club and its supporters’ clubs are passionate about charity.
