In a special ceremony at the Presidential Palace that marked 30 years of the charity’s impactful work, Petrolina and its affiliate, PPT Aviation Services Ltd, were recognized for their enduring commitment.

Petrolina and its affiliated company, PPT Aviation Services Ltd, were honored at a special event held at the Presidential Palace, in recognition of their significant contribution and support to the institution’s mission to help patients with myopathies and to promote research for neuromuscular, genetic, and neurological diseases.

Mrs. Georgia Lefkariti, Executive Advisor of Petrolina (Holdings) Public Ltd, and Mr. Dimitris Mavromichalos, General Manager of PPT Aviation Services Ltd, received the award from First Lady Philippa Karsera and Professor Leonidas Phylactou, Executive General Director and Medical Director of the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING).

Since 2011, Petrolina and PPT Aviation Services have been steadfast in their commitment to Telethon, providing fuel for one of its most successful fundraising initiatives, the annual "Wings of Hope Trip". In addition, from 2018, the companies have championed the next generation of scientists by offering merit scholarships to CING postgraduate students, supporting vital research and innovation in the field of neurological diseases. Moreover, since 2014, Petrolina has been providing fuel vouchers to students and furthered its support through a variety of initiatives that continue to bolster Telethon's mission.

Since its inception in 1994, Telethon—an initiative of the CING and the Cyprus Muscular Dystrophy Association—has become a vital force in Cyprus, offering essential care to patients, driving innovative research, and raising awareness for health issues.
