GCCI donates $1M to Guyana Cancer Foundation
The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is a longstanding supporter of initiatives geared towards raising awareness of cancer and supporting patients. In keeping with this commitment, the Chamber recently donated one million dollars to the Guyana Cancer Foundation.
The funds were raised from the Nadene Gilbert-Rambarran Cancer Awareness Fundraiser that was held in late 2024. The cheque along with a mural painted by artist, Ms. Christina Parsan was handed over to the Institute by Senior Vice President of the Chamber, Mrs. Kathy Smith in the presence of Councillor and Chairperson of the Membership and Diversity Committee, Mrs. Kristia Ramlagan-Prescott and Membership Officer, Ms. Jasmaine Assanah, along with representatives of the Foundation.
Councillors of the Chamber also supported the organisation’s Cancer Awareness Vigil on February 4.
