Auxadi, Spain's leading international corporate services firm, will donate €38,000 to the Spanish Association for Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (AEPEF) to support people living with this rare disease through the purchase of independence kits. The funds were raised through the 17th Charity Football Tournament, organized by the firm from September 14 to 18 in Madrid, with 26 teams participating, including strong representation from some of the most prestigious law firms in the market.
Providing support since 2002
AEPEF was founded 24 years ago to strengthen support for people diagnosed with this condition and their families. One of the association's primary objectives is to raise awareness of a condition that affects a relatively small number of patients.
Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia is classified as a rare and degenerative disease. Progressive loss of balance and the consequences associated with paralysis may be caused by genetic factors, and there is currently no curative treatment to halt physical deterioration.
The 2026 edition of the Charity Football Tournament was organized to provide as many independence kits as possible to AEPEF members living with this condition. This support will help improve the habitability of their homes through accessibility and adaptation improvements.
Competitive spirit for a worthy cause
Twenty-six teams gathered at Unión Adarve's facilities in Madrid to support this social cause.
The final day took place on Friday, September 18, in a festive atmosphere that also provided an opportunity to introduce the tournament that Auxadi will host in Miami in November.
Bringing companies together for social impact
Víctor Salamanca, CEO & President of Auxadi, shared his perspective on the initiative: "We have been organizing this tournament for 17 years, having already raised around €300,000 for social causes. Continuing to grow our Charity Tournament is not just about celebrating sport, but also about expanding the reach of our social impact. Following our milestone of supporting improvements to the solar panel installation at St. Martin's School in Kibagare, Nairobi, this year we have come together for a deeply human cause: improving the quality of life and independence of people affected by a degenerative disease. Raising €38,000 for AEPEF fills us with pride and motivates us to continue making a difference in our communities together".
Raúl Arribas, President of AEPEF, also expressed his gratitude to the firm: "We appreciate Auxadi's efforts to promote greater independence for people living with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. This collaboration has been key not only to securing tangible support, but also to raising awareness of our cause and educating society about this disease."
Auxadi thanks all participating teams for their continued support and invites them to take part again in the next edition of the Charity Football Tournament. The funds raised will also be donated to AEPEF shortly, allowing the association to provide the independence kits as soon as possible.
15th Migranodearena.org Awards
The social cause supported in 2025, which benefited St. Martin's School, raised more than €34,000. In this new edition of the Migranodearena.org Awards, the project has once again been nominated in the "Most Committed Company" category.
About the Charity Football Tournament
Since 2008, Auxadi has organized this Charity 7-a-Side Football Tournament as part of its many Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Through this charity competition, companies that regularly work with Auxadi are invited to participate in a project that has received three Migranodearena.org Awards. The "match funding" model allows Auxadi to match the donations made by the companies participating in the tournament, while Auxadi also assumes full responsibility for organizing the event and covering its costs.
