Charity football game to raise organ donation awareness

Employees of news channels CyBC and Alpha will play against each other in a charity football game on October 11 to raise awareness about organ donation.

The match, at the Ayios Dometios Primary School in Nicosia, will fall one day before the annual European Organ Donation Day.

Moreover, people interested in joining the bone marrow register will be able to sign up with the Karaiskakio Foundation during the event.

Supermarket giants Lidl will sponsor the event, by offering free food and drinks to everyone participating.

The initiative is under the auspices of the Ministry of Health, the Cyprus Transplant Council and the Pancyprian Alliance of Rare Diseases
