**This September, Every Gelato at Columbia Confectionery Becomes an Act of Hope**
Columbia Confectionery, a well-known member of the Columbia Restaurants Group, is launching a heartfelt initiative this September that transforms every gelato purchase into a gesture of support for children battling cancer and leukaemia. The campaign, titled “The Golden Scoops,” runs from September 1 to September 30, 2026, coinciding with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which is recognized globally each September.
As part of this initiative, a portion of the proceeds from all gelato sales will be donated to the Little Heroes Foundation (Mikroi Iroes). This foundation plays a crucial role in providing psychological and financial support to families of children undergoing treatment at the Paediatric Oncology Department of Archbishop Makarios III Hospital, as well as those seeking medical care abroad.
“The Golden Scoops” campaign is designed to raise awareness and funds for the important work carried out by the Little Heroes Foundation. The foundation assists families during a particularly challenging time, covering essential needs and offering valuable support throughout the treatment process for these young patients.
Christos Potsides, Operations Manager at Columbia Confectionery, expressed the motivation behind the campaign, stating, “Gelato is one of Columbia Confectionery’s best-loved products. We wanted something we prepare with care every day, and which our customers have embraced, to serve an even greater purpose this September. Through ‘The Golden Scoops,’ every purchase becomes a meaningful gesture of support for these children and their families.”
The initiative invites the public to participate by selecting their favorite gelato flavors at Columbia Confectionery locations across Cyprus or by ordering through various delivery platforms. This approach not only encourages community involvement but also reinforces the idea that even small, everyday treats can contribute to a larger cause.
Columbia Restaurants Group has a history of commitment to social responsibility, and “The Golden Scoops” campaign is a testament to this dedication. By linking a beloved product to a charitable cause, the company aims to foster a sense of solidarity and hope within the community.
Customers are encouraged to find their nearest Columbia Confectionery store or to order online through their preferred delivery service to support this noble cause throughout the month of September. Each scoop of gelato purchased will not only bring joy to the customer but will also provide essential support to children and families in need.
As the campaign unfolds, Columbia Confectionery hopes to make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by childhood cancer, demonstrating that acts of kindness and generosity can stem from even the simplest pleasures.
