The funds raised will be allocated to Ciudad de Ángeles, a model city that will be built in the eastern zone of the country to shelter rescued animals, train volunteers, promote responsible tourism, and serve as an educational, veterinary, and community welfare center. The activity concluded with the presentation of the official rally promotion, a toast of honor, and the widespread enthusiasm of authorities, entrepreneurs, media allies, and representatives of civil society.
