Portuguese League Against Cancer fundraiser at the Dragão | OneFootball

The initiative will take place during the match against SC Braga this Sunday, as well as at the volleyball match between FC Porto and Sporting CP. The fundraising will begin at 4:00 PM, at Praça do Dragão and Dragão Arena, and during halftime of the FC Porto – SC Braga match, it will continue in the stadium concourses. LPCC volunteers will be properly identified to carry out this mission for yet another year.

It should be noted that this is a traditional fundraising campaign, held annually around this time, in various locations such as shopping centers, churches, cemeteries, some football stadiums, and on the main streets of several cities.

Pedro Pereira Dias, from LPCC, highlighted the impact of FC Porto’s collaboration and emphasized the value of this initiative in raising awareness among Portuguese society in the fight against cancer.

“The Portuguese League Against Cancer (LPCC) greets and thanks, once again, Futebol Clube do Porto for its support and promotion of the National Fundraising Campaign. This relationship, which has been maintained over the years, is an expression of FC Porto’s solidarity and commitment to social causes and, in particular, to the fight against cancer.

FC Porto’s collaboration is, therefore, a contribution of enormous value, which strengthens the impact of the League’s mission and helps raise awareness in Portuguese society about the importance of solidarity and civic participation in this collective effort to fight cancer.”

LPCC is a private association without state funding; therefore, its fundraising ensures the sustainability of its activities: support for people with cancer and their caregivers, health promotion, cancer prevention, and encouragement of training and research in oncology.
