The Andalusian city of Jerez vibrated this Saturday April 19 during the III AXIO Gala, a major philanthropic event organized by the Xérèsane Association of Oncological Research. This event, which was held in the prestigious Atalaya Museums, had the main objective of raising funds to support scientific advances in the fight against cancer. Placed under the theme “Research to Heal”, the gala brought together hundreds of participants sensitive to this vital cause.
Renowned comedian Manu Sánchez was the guest of honor this edition, offering a show full of emotion and humor. The artist, diagnosed with testicular cancer three years ago to the day, shared his journey with touching authenticity. His testimony highlighted the daily challenges of patients while celebrating the medical advances that are today transforming the prognosis of many cancer pathologies.
Dr. Jesús Corral, founding president of AXIO and specialist in oncology, orchestrated this event with remarkable commitment. A recognized doctor in the region, he emphasized during his speech that “Jerez is positioning itself at the forefront of modern oncology thanks to initiatives like this”. His leadership made it possible to mobilize the medical community, local businesses and the general public around a major public health issue.
The evening began at 1:00 p.m. sharp with a series of scientific presentations presenting the latest therapeutic innovations. Researchers from Jerez University Hospital presented promising work on targeted treatments and immunotherapy. These presentations demonstrated how the funds raised during previous editions have already made it possible to finance concrete projects that have resulted in international publications.
The charitable aspect of the event was enhanced with an art auction and exclusive experiences, including a behind-the-scenes day at a research center. The organizers estimate that this third edition could exceed the record of 50,000 euros collected last year. These financial resources are entirely donated to partner laboratories for the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment and the recruitment of young scientific talents.
The significant media presence ensured extensive regional coverage, raising awareness of the issues of oncological research among a wider audience. Several personalities from the Andalusian cultural and sporting world provided their support, creating a ripple effect on social networks. This increased visibility helps to destigmatize the disease while encouraging early detection.

In a context where public funding for research is experiencing budgetary limitations, private initiatives such as the AXIO Gala become complementary. They make it possible to accelerate the development of innovative therapies while creating a bridge between the scientific community and civil society. The model developed in Jerez could inspire other Spanish cities facing the same health challenges.
The success of this edition confirms the maturity of the associative movement in the field of health in Andalusia. The organizers are already announcing the preparation of the IV AXIO Gala for next year, with the ambition of expanding the circle of donors and intensifying interregional collaborations. This positive dynamic illustrates how citizen engagement can concretely transform the landscape of the fight against cancer.
