The Peace Fund Donates $15,000 to COTA

Published on November 16th, 2006

November 2006 sees The PEACE Fund make a further donation of $15,000 to Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA). Following this donation The PEACE Fund has closely been following these three children who are being assisted by COTA. The PEACE Fund's donation of $15,000 will be distributed evenly amongst the three candidates chosen for assistance, and our hope is that by contributing to their fundraising drives, we will not only aid their efforts, but we will also inspire others to help these children and the COTA foundation in the future.
