The 12-hour event, which began at noon and continued until midnight, saw donations pouring in until the very last second. Proceeds will benefit the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation, providing essential support to those in need.

Present at the event, were Malta’s highest-ranking authorities, including President Myriam Spiteri Debono, Prime Minister Robert Abela, Opposition Leader Bernard Grech, and Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna. Their presence highlighted the spirit of unity and solidarity that defines this national event.
