It was a night of ghoulish glamour and ghostly giggles at Restaurante Apetit’s in Moncarapacho as StreetLife supporters gathered, for a spook-tacular Halloween fundraiser that raised around €1,200 for the charity StreetLife, and soon-to-launch StreetLife Puppy Programme.
The event - the very first organised by StreetLife’s new Social Butterfly Team - was a huge success. The restaurant was transformed into a haunted haven thanks to Bruno and the Apetit’s team, whose imaginative decorations and Halloween-dressed staff created a perfect Halloween atmosphere. Around 80% of guests dressed up, arriving as witches, vampires, ghouls, and other frightful characters and enjoyed wonderful canapés, tasty tapas, and wine, which ensured everyone had a great time.
Tracy & Paul, the evening’s musical duo, kept the crowd dancing with perfectly chosen tunes, ensuring the night was full of fun, laughter, and a few friendly scares.
A big thank you must go to our supporters, our StreetBuddies, and of course our wonderful sponsors - without them, none of this could happen. For 2025, we’re proud to be supported by many local businesses, including restaurants Alagoas, Antónios, Apetit’s, Bamboo, Barbacoa, Tribulum, and Yu. Hair and beauty destinations Cara Hair & Beauty, Elle Day Spa, Philippe Stabile Hair & Beauty, and The Beauty Lounge; as well as Apolónia, Golf Pro-Eddit Tittensor, Monterosa Olive Oil, Octant Praia Verde Hotel, Real Marina Hotel, and Sesil Home.
Thanks to their generosity and our supporters, StreetLife’s sterilisation total has now reached an incredible 1,550 dogs - and counting!
For those unaware, StreetLife is a charity organisation in the East Algarve, dedicated to reducing the number of stray and abandoned dogs through affordable sterilisation. Subsidising the cost of sterilisations and microchipping for families on low income, also supporting local dog shelters by sterilising their “house guests” before they are rehomed. With the amazing support of our community, sponsors, veterinary partners, and fundraising events, we’re helping to stop thousands of unwanted puppies being born - all from just one simple sterilisation. Together, we’re making a real difference, one wagging tail at a time!
