History
[edit]The Peruvian Cancer Foundation was founded on November 22, 1960, by Frieda Heller and Eduardo Cáceres Graziani. They also run a hostel called Frieda Heller Hostel, where the majority of the collected donations go to.[3]
In 2013, the prisoners of the infamous Castro Castro Penitentiary donated money and handmade gifts, which was made into a two-minute film and raised awareness for the foundation to collect more donations.[4]
In 2014, their TV commercials won several awards, including Cannes Lions, El Sole, Clio Awards and The EACA Care Awards.[5][6][7]
In September 2018, the workers of Petorperu made a donation of S/ 90,970.00 (equivalent of US$25,000).[8]
Governing bodies
