The 2024 Gala ‘Inocente, Inocente’ promises to blend humor with charity, captivating audiences on December 28, 2024. This beloved yearly tradition, airing on La 1 de RTVE at 10:00 PM, aims to raise funds for hospitalized children, especially those affected by recent disasters such as DANA.
Originally rooted in the solemn commemoration of the massacre of innocent children during Herod's reign, the Day of the Holy Innocents has undergone significant cultural shifts over time, transforming it from solemnity to joyous celebration. This evolution is embodied by the 'Gala ‘Inocente, Inocente,’ which exemplifies the spirit of joy through comedy, laughter, and altruism.
Each year, the gala features notable public figures who become the surprise targets of practical jokes, all in good fun. This year, well-known personalities such as Olympic badminton champion Carolina Marín, actress Belén Rueda, tennis coach Toni Nadal, singer India Martínez, actor Manu Baqueiro, and television presenter Lara Álvarez will be the victims of playful pranks during the event.
The event will be hosted by prominent broadcasters including Paula Vázquez, Juanma Iturriaga, Jacob Petrus, and Carolina Casado, with Juan y Medio as the special guest this year. Their dynamic presence is expected to infuse humor and heart, drawing viewers even closer to the narrative of shared experiences and laughter.
The most entertaining pranks are traditionally crafted with utmost creativity, promising to deliver notable reactions from the participants. For example, Lara Álvarez finds herself caught up with absurd executives during what is supposed to be a master class. Meanwhile, Toni Nadal will face unexpected family complications when he unwittingly adopts a cute puppy.
Bedridden patients will not be the only focus of this year’s gala; the proceeds are particularly aimed at supporting entities dedicated to children afflicted by natural disasters. Last year, the gala succeeded in raising over two million euros, which was directed toward aiding children with rare illnesses. This year, there's more emphasis on the aftermath of DANA, aimed at improving the lives of most vulnerable children through various initiatives, including providing temporary housing for families during treatments, educational support, and creating more comfortable hospital environments.
To engage viewers even more, the gala encourages donations through different channels. Supporters can contribute via Bizum by texting 33379, calling the toll-free number 900 30 30 52, or visiting the Fundación ‘inocente, inocente’ website where they can choose to donate either once or on a recurring basis.
The gala serves not only as entertainment but as a heartfelt call to action. The Fundación ‘inocente, inocente’, active since 1995, has helped over 400 organizations focused on improving the quality of life for children facing health challenges or social exclusion. By contributing, the audiences enable the foundation to continue its much-needed support for thousands of young lives.
This December 28, audiences will witness laughter and enjoyment from the pranks, but more significantly, they will participate in the spirit of giving, supporting those who need it the most through good-hearted humor.
