The Manila Doctors Hospital’s Cups of Courage, Brew for Hope Commemoration Drive, a fundraiser for the benefit of cancer patients, has raised P57,000 since it was launched in November.

The fund was turned over to the Cancer Institute and Corporate Social Initiatives Office last 28 May 2025. The money was derived from the sale of a cup of coffee to donors.

“This contribution will be used to prepare and distribute Boxes of Hope — a special care package that will bring comfort and encouragement to cancer patients,” said Dr. Cherry Fernando, head of Cancer Institute.

Fernando emphasized that more than the physical care package, the Box of Hope is a reminder that cancer patients are not alone in their journey.
