WPC Club Charity Donation for Candiolo IRCCS: The Official Acknowledgment
In May 2026, the WPC Club received an official thank-you letter signed by President Allegra Agnelli, confirming receipt of the charity donation. The letter coincides with a significant milestone: 2026 marks the Foundation’s 40th anniversary, four decades of work dedicated to advancing cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research at one of Italy’s leading oncology institutes.
In her letter, President Agnelli emphasized that contributions from organizations like the WPC Club are essential to sustaining the Foundation’s most ambitious programs: innovative clinical protocols, cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, and research initiatives that give patients new possibilities. Every gesture of support contributes to the shared goal of defeating cancer.
The WPC Club Charity Auction at Every PIM Edition
The WPC Club’s charity commitment continues at every edition of the PIM – Phonecards International Meeting. Each year, the event includes a charity auction open to collectors and businesses, with 100% of proceeds donated to the chosen beneficiary. The partner for PIM 2027 will be announced when the next edition details are confirmed.
