To celebrate the season, the eighth charity auction was held, organised by the Municipality of Fundão, where 33 cherries were sold for €820.

The event took place in the city centre, where members of the motorcycle club "Os Trinca Cerejas" arrived with the first cherries of the year in the region, as NiT reported. The fruits of the auction were selected for this purpose, with the proceeds to be given to the Portuguese Association of Parents and Friends of the Mentally Disabled Citizen, located in Fundão.

Despite the festive atmosphere, the cherry harvest is going through a difficult period in Fundão due to weather conditions that have destroyed part of the 2026 crop. However, the municipality has already revealed that it will strive to compensate for any losses recorded.
