Beyond the sporting competition, the Cudeca Cup represents a firm commitment to palliative care, helping people with advanced illnesses and their families receive comprehensive and free support at a particularly vulnerable time in their lives.<\/p>\n<h2>The XXXII Cudeca Cup arrives with a change in captaincy<\/h2>\n<p>This year, the tournament arrives with an important development: a new captaincy. Following a period marked by the dedication and commitment of Ed and Ineke de Kloe, the organisation welcomes Michelle and Richard Hollings, who take on the leadership with the goal of continuing to strengthen the spirit of solidarity that defines this event.<\/p>\n<h2>A full day of charity at the Campo Am\u00e9rica<\/h2>\n<p>The Cudeca Cup will take place at the renowned Campo Am\u00e9rica and will include, in addition to the tournament, a programme designed to encourage participation and collaboration: a solidarity lunch, prize-giving ceremony and charity auction, whose proceeds will go entirely to support the work of Cudeca.<\/p>\n<p>As host of this event, La Cala Resort also reaffirms its commitment to society and to initiatives that generate a real positive impact on the community, supporting charitable actions that go beyond the sporting arena.<\/p>\n<h2>Three decades of commitment: the Cudeca Cup as a solidarity gathering point<\/h2>\n<p>With more than three decades of history, the <strong>Cudeca Cup<\/strong> has established itself as much more than a golf tournament: it is a meeting point for individuals, companies and organisations that share a common purpose \u2014 to accompany and care for those who need it most. Under the motto <em>\u201cSwing for a cause | Juega por una buena causa\u201d<\/em>, the organisation calls for active participation from society, inviting everyone to collaborate in a <a href=\"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/category\/news\/\">charity event<\/a> that each year turns sport into real support for patients and families cared for by Cudeca.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registration and collaboration:<\/strong><br \/>\nTel. +34 952 669 016<br \/>\nEmail: golf@lacala.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>Press contact:<\/strong><br \/>\nTeresa Jim\u00e9nez<br \/>\n672 325 909<br \/>\ncomunicacion@cudeca.org<\/p>\n<h2>About the Cudeca Foundation<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cudeca.org\" rel=\"noopener\">Cudeca Foundation<\/a> is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing professional and free palliative care to people with cancer and other advanced illnesses.
