With Spain being one of the most affected countries of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pau Gasol and Rafael Nadal launched a campaign to encourage donations with hopes to raise 11 million euros to help the country in this health crisis.
With the hashtag #Nuestramejorvictoria (our best victory), both Nadal and Gasol called other athletes to join the donations, with Iker Casillas, Raul Navas, pilots Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz Jr. and more responding to the call.
