Pan-Hellenic Women’s Federation of Australia raises funds for cancer charity

·

The Pan-Hellenic Women’s Federation of Australia held its second fundraiser for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation on Saturday, November 9, achieving great success.

The event featured inspiring stories from women in cancer remission, who bravely recounted their experiences with chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Federation President Georgina Papafotiou spoke on the day and shared valuable information and statistics about various types of cancer.

Mr Papafotiou also extended her heartfelt thanks to sponsors for supporting the Federation’s event with afternoon tea and gifts for the raffle.

In what turned out to be a successful event, the Federation raised $3,500.50, which will contribute to further research and education to improve cancer treatment options.

Cancer affects everyone—most people know someone who has battled the disease or lost their life to it. Approximately 49,000 Australians die from cancer every year, highlighting the importance of supporting this cause.
