PRESS RELEASE BY THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

Her Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, the President of Malta, thanks the Maltese and Gozitan people for the solidarity and generosity shown during the L-Istrina 2025 fundraiser.

During a 12-hour marathon on Boxing Day, more than €5.7 million was raised, which will assist the Malta Community Chest Fund in its work to continue helping those who find themselves in situations that require assistance.

In her message, the President stated that she rightly has confidence in the Maltese and Gozitan people, because this year too they have shown that they are ready to help in any call for assistance.

The President also thanked the hundreds of workers and volunteers, who throughout the year worked to organize various activities, as well as to make this year’s edition of L-Istrina a success.
