The Ica’s 61st ‘Door Knock’ ® Fundraising Campaign – Schools, Youth Movements, Organizations and Companies

This year, we approached workers’ committees of different companies to collaborate in raising awareness to a healthy lifestyle among the organization’s employees and to participate in the ‘Door Knock’® Fundraising Campaign. Sixty-two workers’ committees received information materials from the ICA on health lifestyle, the harmful effects of smoking, and early detection, took an active part in the fundraising campaign. Youth Movements Like every year, this year too, the Tsofim youth movement enlisted in the online campaign, and raised over 250,000 Shekels!

Isaac Herzog , Israel’s President, spoke at the ceremony: “Cancer doesn’t distinguish between Jewish, Muslim or Christian, men or women, young and older. It doesn’t spare the rich or the poor, big cities or peripheries. All of us, who cherish life – are united and determined to beat cancer – you, the ICA personnel, physicians and researchers, who fight it day and night. The ICA’s success is Israel’s success.”
