Founded just six months after the tragic invasion of Cyprus as an athletic team of Cypriots players living and studying in America, caring about their divided and occupied country, the Pancyprian Association “walked” for 40 years the path of the struggle for freedom in Cyprus.
Very soon the association got involved in every effort of the Greek American Community to preserve the U.S. arms embargo to Turkey.
In 1977 the Pancyprian Community Center was purchased serving as the headquarters for political fundraisers and cultural events.
Today the Pancyprian has five divisions: Athletic, Youth Athletic (Eleftheria – Pancyprian), Cultural (with Choir and Philharmonic), Dance and Women’s Issues Network.
These 40 years of struggle for Cyprus and continuous effort for the Cypriot Community in the United States is celebrated on Wednesday, March 9, 2016, at 6 pm, with a gala dinner at the New York Hilton Midtown (1335 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10019). The organization is honoring with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” one of its founding members, Constantine (Dinos) Iordanou, Chairman of the Board of Arch Capital.
