Solidary Paella 2023

One of the best ways to raise funds for social purposes is to hold events. We know this very well, as we have made more than 25,000 servings of paella a year at large events, collaborating in many events for social purposes since 2016.

That is why we want to continue contributing by doing “our part” by selecting an entity for which to make a paella for 1,000 people for free.

The award, valued at more than €4,500, is open to all social projects of any NGO or non-profit entity (foundations, associations, etc.) among which, a committee formed by us and our colleagues will select the entity or winning project, whose objective is always to help those groups that are most disadvantaged and forgotten by society. That is why the call opens on these Christmas dates, so characterized by generosity to those who need it most.

Collaborating in this donation are the food distribution company, Helados y Congelados del Mediterráneo (Hecomed), the rice producing company, Arrocerías Antonio Tomas, which will provide the ingredients and rice necessary to make the paellas with the best quality, using For this purpose, the best local products, in addition, the Federico Doménech company will contribute to disseminating the event through its media, while we will provide the necessary technical equipment and the coordination of the group of volunteers of the “solidarity paella makers”.

We have extensive experience in this type of events, since we have promoted other solidarity paellas in previous years, such as with the Ca La Mare Association (solidarity paella for 3,000 people in 2016 for a Guinness record diaper cake), Bonagent Association (solidarity paella for 2,000 people in 2019 for groups with intellectual disabilities), having collaborated with other entities such as: multiple sclerosis foundation, Alex's smile (childhood cancer prevention), southeastea (autism), etc.

The deadline to submit applications is 3 months, starting this 12-21-2023 and ending next 3-21-2024, and you can consult the rules to participate here

Once the deadline for submitting candidatures has expired, the deliberation committee will have a maximum period of 20 days to communicate the selected entity.

• Mr. Javier Baixauli, CEO of Original Paella

We hope you will help us spread the news, that just as we share a paella at our table, we want to be able to share good times this Christmas.
