Jornadas por la Rehabilitación en Magallanes, Annual rehabilitation fundraising event in Punta Arenas, Chile
Jornadas por la Rehabilitación in Magallanes is an annual fundraising event supporting rehabilitation centers in and around Punta Arenas. The campaign uses television broadcasts, art exhibitions, food sales, and various community activities across the Magallanes region.
The Lions Club of Punta Arenas began this fundraising initiative in 1986 to support medical help for people with disabilities in the Magallanes region. The project developed into an established force for providing rehabilitation services in this remote area of southern Chile.
The event brings together the community to support people with disabilities through shared fundraising efforts. Locals contribute through art displays, food sales, and various activities that reflect how medical care matters in this remote region.
The event takes place across multiple locations in Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, and Porvenir, with activities spread throughout the season. Visitors can find information and participate in various activities across the region without needing to travel to a single central point.
The program operates independently from other national fundraising campaigns and serves patients from southern Chile and neighboring Argentine regions. This local independence allows it to respond to the specific needs of this remote area.
