On Saturday, August 28th, 2010 , Meridian ’s Bodies In Motion and the Persian American Cancer Institute joined forces to celebrate the Grand Opening of the new Bodies In Motion health and fitness club in Brentwood and to raise funds for the wonderful work, that PACI continues to accomplish daily, for the benefit of everyone. This event was a huge success, many visitors enrolled in the club on this day and a substantial donation was given to PACI, to further their miraculous efforts! Bodies In Motion looks forward to a long partnership with PACI, in the pursuit of good health for all.
The above was possible due to Fatia Candari's self motivation to give to her community. Beyond the monetary contribution PACI is extremely grateful to people like Fatia who take ownership of PACI and do what they can to help us spread our name and awareness. This is what we are here for, for everyone to take charge for their own destiny and not be afraid to talk about cancer. Thank you Fatia!
On Sunday May 2nd, Club 670 hosted a Poker Tournament at the Bicycle Club and invited PACI to run a Bone Marrow Drive. The day started with much excitement setting up for the drive; many people showed up to register and we collected 100 applications. Club 670 had promised to donate 15% of their proceeds to PACI; in addition, two leather jackets were auctioned off. The day culminated with donation of a check to Persian American Cancer institute in the amount of $11,355.00.
Mr. John Paley the General Manager of Radio 670 AM also generously donated a $1000 check.
Our sincere gratitude to Club 670, Mr. Paley, and all those involved in helping make this gift possible.
Together, we will make a difference!

PACI’s call for Bone Marrow registries has reached beyond borders and deep into the hearts of many Iranians all around the world. Our voice has been heard globally, and our goal to Educate, Guide and Support has taken a whole new direction.
Our Bone Marrow Drives for Farnaz and Mona have brought much awareness to public and inspired them to educate themselves further about cancer, other blood related diseases and the role of bone marrow centers and their mission.
We recently received a priceless gift from two ladies in Boston. Many have volunteered their time and services, but these two ladies named Halleh Mahini, and Labkhand Asefi Moghadam, after a few phone conversations with us, they took initiative and held a Bone Marrow Drive on Jan 17th, 2010.
We were informed that 120 people showed up for the drive and registration, and $1300 was collected in donations for PACI. Halleh nor Labkhand have never met any PACI members but our quest to help another human being has been grand enough to bring us together. Their efforts prove the effectiveness of teamwork, their depth of compassion and the essence of humanity, which can surpass boundaries and pierce through walls of impossibility.
“Our sincere gratitude to the friends of PACI, Boston Chapter” PACI is a stranger to no one, but an ever-growing friend to all. Helen Kamali CEO
