On Thursday, 16 October 2025, the Algarve will come together in style for the annual Shine Bright Algarve Fundraiser, hosted at the iconic Thai Beach Club, Vilamoura by the Women of Loule Facebook group.
This glittering evening promises glamour, entertainment, and generosity — all in support of the Associação Oncológica do Algarve (AOA).
A cause that matters
AOA is the region’s leading cancer support charity, providing patient transport, education, awareness campaigns, and essential services to families (both citizens and international residents) across the Algarve. Last year, Shine Bright Algarve raised €10,000 and this year, organisers are aiming even higher.
Sponsors driving impact
This year’s event is made possible thanks to the generosity of Luxury Yacht Charters, Blevins Franks, Quintas & Casas, Wines & Co (Welcome Drinks Sponsor), Grasshopper Greens and Wendy & Clive Aranson. Their sponsorship ensures more proceeds can go directly to AOA’s life-changing work.
A night full of highlights
Guests will enjoy:
A red-carpet welcome with canapés and wines
Live entertainment throughout the evening, featuring some of the Algarve’s most talented performers
An exclusive silent auction, headlined by a once-in-a-lifetime Howard’s Folly Wine Experience — a private wine tasting hosted at the winner’s home
A spectacular online raffle, with prizes donated by businesses from across the Algarve — open online so everyone can take part, even if they can’t attend in person.
