Co-organized by Iran’s House of Music, the Kar-o Andisheh Company (KANCo.), a leading firm in the field of medical and pharmaceutical products, and Tarane Sharghee Cultural and Artistic Company, all the proceeds will go for medical treatment and rehab of the special child-patients of Mahak Hospital and Rehabilitation Complex, a pediatric cancer research and center in Tehran built by Mahak Charity.
