A date for your diary Sunday 12th October – our next main fund raising event  – JoyRon Foundation in collaboration with E-Touch Systems located within STP are organising our fourth annual Go-Kart Racing and Family Fun Day at the Magaluf Go-Kart Race Track. The event will feature 18 teams of six drivers each, practising and racing throughout the day. All net proceeds raised will be for the benefit of JoyRon Foundation – Helping children in need in the Balearics.

Many of the competing teams are from the yachting community. The JoyRon Go-Kart Fundraising Event in Magaluf promises a competitive day, incorporates plenty of fun and family social activity from 10.00 to 18.00, all there for the taking, with entry to the venue being FREE ADMISSION.

At  last – JoyRon can announce that the building of an Aquatic Centre for Fundacion ASNIMO is underway. Construction work commenced during the first week of July and completion is scheduled for February 2026. JoyRon’s funding contribution to this project is €120,000. Such funding has already been raised and banked pending commencement of the build. (See architect’s rendering.) A more detailed update on this build project will be included in the November edition of The Islander. 

Next community service JoyRon initiative – In addition to focusing on our next fund raising event, JoyRon is also reviewing a number of potential on-site small building projects to support Granja Escola Jovent Palma. The school has been operative for 25 years and is run by a Co-operative Management Team of five individuals (being the original volunteers who set up the school 25 years ago). As of today they have some 17 volunteer helpers, providing various programs for up to 130 children at any one time all on site, aged  3 to 12, organised into six groups of children all undertaking different tasks. Many of these children being handicapped, autistic, down-syndrome or suffering from other medical conditions and most of the children being from underprivileged families.

The Building Projects expect to cost up to €40,000 and include:
a) The coverage of a patio area used for outdoor activities, by groups of students with functional diversity.
A vast improvement to the patio would be protection on rainy days.
b) Enclosure of play areas for children with functional diversity, thereby providing improvement for their participation in the various activities that are organised and also improves their safety.
c) Provision of an external invalid stairway wheelchair access to the first floor of the building, for children with reduced mobility and thereby unable to participate in activities on the first floor.
d) And two further build tasks are also under consideration.
JoyRon is there to help the many children in need in the Balearics who are under privileged, in need and require support. Interested in event sponsorship? Financial corporate or individual donations? or provide an auction item or raffle prize?  New volunteers are always welcome. Please contact us. Together we can make it happen.
