Beacon Foundation Limited has received a donation of $1,070,000 from the Sea-board Overseas Trading Group through local subsidiary National Milling Company of Guyana (NAMILCO), which it says will assist the foundation with the long-term support of cancer patients and their families.
According to a press release from the Foundation, the donation was made in keeping with this year’s breast cancer awareness month theme RISE—Rally In Support, Serving and Screening Everyone—and it is grateful for the “charitable contribution.”
The Foundation said that along with NAMILCO, it “encourages everyone to continue to show their support for the courageous men, women and children who have been diagnosed with cancer and to honour those who have lost their battle to this disease.”
