The Commissioner of the Presidency and his Office support the charity work of the Association and are always at their side to contribute in any way they can.
Mr. Fotiou also referred to the financial assistance offered by the Cyprus Children's Fund (USA) and its President Mr. Nikos Zittis to the Pancyprian Association of Parents and Friends of the Pediatric Oncology Unit over the past years and stressed that this assistance has been institutionalized.
The Presidential Commissioner then assured the Association of the support and the effort to find additional financial resources from other bodies and organizations of Cypriots living abroad. The Hellenes Abroad, Mr. Fotiou stressed, are particularly sensitive and contribute in every possible way to such causes.
At the same time, it was decided that the illumination of the Presidential Palace will take place next September, within the framework of the Golden September events, which is a month of awareness and awakening for childhood cancer.
