Charity auction at CASACOR brings surprising results

CASACOR is honored by the success of the art auction promoted through donations to amigo_h Einstein – an institution that aims to promote cancer prevention actions and foster oncology and hematology research. amigo_h Einstein in partnership with CASACOR , Studio Prestes and GDL Arquitetura promoted a silent auction of works by talented artists that ended yesterday – with a surprising result. The auction included ten works of art , all of them of great aesthetic and emotional value. The exhibition of these works in the Origami Gallery designed by Gabriel de Lucca at CASACOR São Paulo was also an opportunity to capture the public's attention and further disseminate the purpose of amigo_h. Partners, advisors and the president of the institution visited the exhibition and, joining forces with the CASACOR public, placed bids – raising the amount of R$ 35,400 that will be allocated to the dissemination of the Latin American and Caribbean Code Against Cancer , a joint initiative with IARC (World Health Organization Agency for Research on Cancer) that seeks to improve and disseminate best practices in cancer prevention throughout the region. "The partnership between CASACOR and amigo_h has proven to be excellent and reinforces our belief that the union of strong brands and the engagement of society are fundamental to guaranteeing a future with more lives without cancer ," says Renata Grabert, Vice-President of amigo_h.
