The Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC, will celebrate on Saturday 9 of May, starting at 09:00 hours, its fifth Golf Against Cancer Tournament benefiting oncology patients from Ibiza and Formentera at the Golf Ibiza facilities. This event managed to gather 72 participants last year and raised 12,000 euros that were entirely allocated to the fight against cancer in the Pitiusas, a figure that the organization hopes to exceed this time. This day, sponsored by the Consell d’Eivissa, through the Ibiza Travel brand, the Sant Josep de sa Talaia Town Hall, the Santa Eulària des Riu Town Hall, Mondrian Ibiza and Ibiza Casino Events, will also feature an awards ceremony and a solidarity raffle with gifts donated by various island businesses. Registrations can be made directly at the Golf Ibiza reception and have a price of 60 euros for members, 80 euros for other participants and 30 euros for minors.
The fifth Golf Tournament Against Cancer will start at 09:00 hours and will end around 15:00 hours with the awarding of trophies to the winners of categories A and B, first and second Juniors, and Scratch, with a single award, all donated by supportive companies from Ibiza. Additionally, two special prizes will be awarded: for the longest drive, in the male and female sections, and for the ball that is closest to the flag.
Next, a charity raffle will be held in which both players and other attendees can participate by purchasing a ticket for the price of five euros. The winning numbers will be published on the website and on the IFCC Facebook page. The prizes will include various experiences and gifts donated by collaborating companies from the island that support this charitable initiative for the benefit of the Ibiza and Formentera Against Cancer Association, IFCC.
Playful activities, gastronomy, and live music
Hyde and Mondrian Ibiza reinforce their commitment to the Ibiza community once again by joining this tournament in support of the Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC. As part of this collaboration, both hotels will offer the official tournament meal during the awards ceremony, thereby directly contributing to an initiative that has become an essential date on the island’s solidarity calendar.
Coinciding with the launch of Hyde Ibiza Fest, the new four-day cultural event taking place from May 7 to 11, 2026, this collaboration underscores the commitment of both hotels to generate a positive impact in their surroundings. “For the first time, Hyde Ibiza presents an activity program that celebrates music, culture, art, wellness, and sports, taking advantage of the resort’s spaciousness and its various oceanfront and natural spaces in Cala Llonga,” the hotel explains. Participation in this solidarity tournament complements this spirit and establishes Hyde and Mondrian Ibiza as cultural and social engines within the local community.
The president of the Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC, Elizabeth Gail Fear, expresses her excitement about celebrating this tournament for the fifth consecutive year, “it is one of the most anticipated events by our association as sport is one of the key pillars in the prevention work we do at IFCC.” Fear also assures that “we are very grateful for the support we receive from all the businesses and institutions in the Pitiusas that collaborate with us year after year and, especially, for having Mondrian Ibiza by our side, who always lend us a hand when we need it.”
Additionally, this fifth edition of the tournament will feature a live performance by the band Reflection, who will entertain this sports day with the best rock music of recent times, while Island Casino Events will incorporate a leisure proposal inspired by a casino atmosphere to offer an additional attraction for attendees. Likewise, the foodtruck Choco Party will once again be present at this gathering, providing a small break for players during the tournament.
Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer
The Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC, has been working for 25 years to help patients and families in the Pitiusas during their cancer treatments, as well as providing medical supplies, brochures, and funding for transfers and treatments outside the islands.
This year, IFCC, in collaboration with the Santa Eulària des Riu Town Hall, has launched a pilot project called Hospice, a support service aimed at people with cancer in the final phase of their lives and their families, which is offered free of charge to oncology patients in the municipality with a life expectancy of less than twelve months.
In 2025, the Association funded a new car for the Palliative Care Unit, as well as 46 new armchairs and new auxiliary tables for the waiting room of the oncology day hospital and the radiology room. Furthermore, IFCC continues to promote a new campaign among the island’s society to strengthen the promotion of colon cancer screening, with the goal of improving the participation rate, which was only 28% in 2024.
In recent years, the Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC, has donated recliners for Oncology patients at Can Misses Hospital, as well as televisions and headphones for the chemotherapy room at this reference center in Ibiza and Formentera.
IFCC has also financed, thanks to donations from its numerous members and the charity events it organizes, the decoration of both the oncology nursing consultation room and the Palliative Care Unit consultation room, the purchase of an endoscope for Formentera Hospital, the implementation of a colon cancer and lymphedema screening project in the Pitiusas, and several vehicles for the Palliative Care Unit.
