ECTS Charity Beach Volley

Last year, thanks to your support, we raised more than 1,700€ for Hypophosphatasie Deutschland. For this year, the ECTS Academy has organised a Beach volley event to raise money for the Spanish Camurati-Englemann’s disease association. This is all for a good cause but we also hope it will be fun and a good opportunity to bring together members, corporate supporters and friends. So, crank up the Top Gun music, dig out some shorts and t-shirts (bikini or tankini if you are brave enough!), and get your friends and colleagues to form a team. Register your team and get more info at this link

If you have any questions prior to the meeting, do not hesitate to send us an email at ects@ectsoc.org.  While in Valencia, stop by the ECTS booth to learn more about our activities.  We would love to hear from you and get new ideas to better serve our members.

See you in Valencia!
