Queen Máxima Supports Pediatric Cancer Research at Princess Máxima Center Anniversary Benefit Gala
AMSTERDAM – Her Majesty Queen Máxima graced the anniversary benefit gala of the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam on Thursday evening, September 28. The event was organized to celebrate the center’s fifth anniversary and raise funds for crucial projects.
The benefit evening featured captivating performances by various artists, adding to the charm and significance of the occasion. All proceeds from the event will be directed towards projects focused on talent development and immunotherapy within the Princess Máxima Center.
Cancer remains the leading cause of death among children, making the work done by the Princess Máxima Center all the more critical. In the Netherlands alone, approximately 600 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Tragically, one in four of these children succumbs to the disease. The Princess Máxima Center, located in Utrecht, is steadfast in its mission to cure every child with cancer while ensuring their optimal quality of life.
As the largest pediatric cancer center in Europe, the Princess Máxima Center emphasizes the integration of care and research. By bringing these two pillars together, the center aims to increase the chances of recovery for children with cancer while minimizing the adverse effects they may face later in life.
The presence of Queen Máxima at the anniversary benefit gala not only adds prestige but also highlights the importance of supporting pediatric cancer research and the unwavering commitment to improving the lives of young patients. Her attendance serves as a testament to the dedication of the staff, researchers, and volunteers at the Princess Máxima Center.
The Royal House’s spokesperson, RVD, stated that this event received designation number 242. It is without a doubt an evening that will be remembered and cherished by all those in attendance as they contribute to a noble cause and take important steps toward fighting pediatric cancer.
