On July 9th, Jávea Lodge No. 40 held its annual lively and fun filled Race Night on the terraces of Casa de la Pizza at the Costa Nova Masonic Centre in Jávea.
Fifty members, friends, and generous sponsors gathered for an evening of virtual horse racing, laughter, and community spirit, raising 1,050€ for the local firefighters and other masonic charities.
The Balcon al Mar Voluntarios Firefighters are a group of dedicated volunteers covering the whole of Jávea and who rely largely on donations to keep going.

The atmosphere was tremendous, with cheering and celebration, all the while helping to protect the Jávea area. Those of us who experienced the terrible forest fires of 9 years ago, remember how bravely the local volunteers battled to save our homes.
Jávea 40’s Worshipful Master, Alex Wilkins, said “Supporting our local Firefighters is so important – they need essential equipment to keep us safe, and every euro helps.”
