TEHRAN –A charity exhibition of visual artworks in different media by Iranian artists will open in Tehran's Niavaran Cultural Center to raise funds for children suffering from cancer.

Entitled “Positive Hundred”, the exhibit will showcase the works of 74 contemporary artists including Reza Bangiz, Behzad Shishegaran, Abdolhamid Pazuki, Farah Osuli, Bahram Dabiri, Mojtaba Ramzi and Amir Hossein Heshmati, IRNA reported on Monday. 

Organized by Behnam Daheshpour Charity Organization, the exhibit will open its doors to the public on Friday and will continue until November 10. 

The Behnam Daheshpoor Charity Organization, founded in 1995 by the late Behnam Daheshpoor, is a non-governmental and non-profit organization aimed at creating a society free from the fear of cancer. 

Though Behnam passed away in 1996 from cancer, the organization was revived in 2010 by volunteers and sponsors after obtaining the necessary legal permits.

Its mission is to provide preventive, supportive, and medical services to cancer patients and their families through various volunteer groups. The organization offers treatment, drugs, and additional peripheral services during a patient's treatment period, with the goal of easing the burden on those affected by cancer.
