The Chihuahua Cancer Center received a donation of 88,500,000 pesos from clients, collaborators and the company Futufarma SA de CV, better known as Farmacias Botica Central.
The contribution will be used to support women who fight against breast cancer, and who will receive support from Fundación CIMA Chihuahua, AC
For the fifth consecutive year, the company carried out this collaboration, this time the resources were completed through the sale of special packages with pink cloth mouth covers and a pocket antibacterial gel that were offered in all the branches of Farmacias Botica Central in the different cities where it has a presence.
In this way, the total purchases of said packages were awarded to the CIMA Chihuahua Foundation so that the institution continues to support women with cancer who require access to specialized studies or radiation treatments to combat cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women in the world and, in Mexico, it represents the leading cause of death for women. Timely and adequate detection can save the lives of up to 80 percent of patients.
Alinna Flores Estrada, Marketing Manager of Botica Central pharmacies pointed out that they know that when commitment and effort are shared, many things are achieved, this is how Farmacias Botica Central has been doing this campaign for five years among employees, managers and valued clients, who place the trust to help die with cancer which in turn transmit the resources to the Foundation.
Counselors, directors and volunteers of the CIMA Chihuahua Foundation, received the resource that will be used to support the treatment of women fighting cancer.
In her speech, Thelma Manzano, director of the Foundation, thanked the generosity of Farmcas Botica Central, its collaborators and clients, by joining the work of the organization, to act as a bridge between those who have the resource and those who urgently need and thus support these families in the moments that most require it.
Those present at the delivery of the donation launched helium balloons into the sky, in respectful commemoration of the fight against breast cancer.
It was recalled that, in the state of Chihuahua, six people die every day from cancer, when with access to timely and adequate treatment, four of them could be saved.
