MAHAK Charity Festival and the Children’s Day

MAHAK break-the-donation boxes festival was held on October 10–11, 2013 serving more than 5000 visitors.  There were nearly 50 stalls offering cloths, home ware, food, cocktails, handicrafts and cosmetics.  There also was a stall presenting complimentary MAHAK newsletters and brochures to the attendees.

During this festival, MAHAK hosted guests consisting of MAHAK children, their family members, Support Services staff and volunteers to celebrate the beginning of school with a colorful event which was planned to coincide with the Iranian children day.  Presence of such willing individuals demonstrates that cancer is not a battle that one can fight and win in isolation and there is always need for such benevolent supports in order to make a concrete difference.

The atmosphere benefitted immeasurably by the presence of celebrities and social VIPs who mingled openly with everyone around.  MAHAK is fortunate to enjoy the support of all the strata of society including well-known artists and athletes who not only actively support cancer-stricken children but also take time to make them happy by their sheer presence and support.

The bazaar managed to raise IRR 4,078,109,043 which as always will be spent on medicine for and treatment of children suffering from cancer.

We are grateful to all the volunteers and supporters from the youngest to the oldest who assisted MAHAK in holding this bazaar and hope that one day with your support, we celebrate the remission and full recovery of children suffering from cancer with the whole big family of MAHAK.
